MASTER EQ
The PSR-8000 features a digital 5-band equalizer that can be
used to “shape” the overall frequency characteristics of the
instrument to create a wide range of tonal variations. Two preset
equalizer curves and two programmable “
USER
” curves are
provided. The bandwidth and center frequency of each
USER
curve band can be adjusted as required for maximum equaliza-
tion versatility. The various curves can be selected by pressing
the corresponding LCD button.

EQ1 … EQ5
........................................................................................................................................................................................
The
PRESET
and
USER
curves can be edited as required via the corresponding LCD dials —
EQ1
through
EQ5
.
Each of the 5 bands can be boosted (“+” values) or cut (“–” values) by up to 12 dB. Any changes are shown graphically
via both the controls and the markers in the selected
PRESET
or
USER
curve.
■
Q & FREQ
.............................................................................................................................................................................................
Whenever an EQ band is edited the corresponding EQ value is highlighted and the number of the edited band appears
above the
Q
and
FREQ
controls. The
Q
and
FREQ
controls can then be used to adjust the Q (bandwidth) and center
frequency of the selected band. The higher the “Q”, the narrower the bandwidth. The available
FREQ
range is
different for each band.
■
TOTAL GAIN ADJUST
.............................................................................................................................................................
This dial adjusts the overall gain of all EQ bands simultaneously.
