The controls function as follows:
1.
Speakers
: This setting controls whether the monitor speakers are muted
while a headset plug is inserted into the headset jack on the front panel.
2.
Low Cut
:
Low Cut
is provided for cases where unusually deep content
produces audible distortion and interferes with monitoring.
3.
Treble
: This tone control adjusts the high frequency speaker audio response
from -12 dB to +12 dB. Lowering
Treble
compensates for high frequency
pre-emphasis or removes sibilance effects. Increasing
Treble
will add
“sizzle” to the sound and bring high-pitched sounds out of the mix. The
control can be touched and moved left or right to adjust in 1 dB increments.
Alternatively, after touching the control, the
Adjust
knob can be used to
more critically adjust the setting.
4.
Bass
: This tone control adjusts the low frequency speaker audio response
from -12 dB to +12 dB. Lowering
Bass
will unmask midrange band sounds,
while increasing
Bass
will make the sound “fatter”. The control can be
touched and moved left or right to adjust in 1 dB increments. Alternatively,
after touching the control, the
Adjust
knob can be used to more critically
adjust the setting.
5.
Set to Flat
: This button sets both the
Treble
and
Bass
controls to 0 dB,
removing any emphasis or de-emphasis they can provide. Selecting
Flat
provides the flattest measured response from the internal speakers.
6.
Delay
: The speaker audio can be delayed from 0 to 170 mS to synchronize
with video delays, when necessary. The control can be touched and moved
