Mid-Hi Tune
Use the MID-HI TUNE control to set the cut-off frequency.
Frequencies above this frequency are amplified whereas
frequencies below are attenuated. The intensity is set
with the PROCESS control. The frequencies affected
range from 1.1 kHz (hard right) to 22 kHz (hard left). Con-
sequently, the sound becomes brighter the more you turn
the control to the right. From 1.5 kHz upwards, mid fre-
quencies become more emphasized. The MID-HI TUNE
control allows you to tone down excessively bright sounding mate-
rial by setting it to somewhere around 10 kHz and combining it with
a very high PROCESS setting.
The MID-HI TUNE filter is not a static filter, unlike common EQ
filters, and therefore it cannot be operated like one. It is integrated
within a filter network and affects frequency and phase response
over a very broad frequency range. The setting never affects the
selected value exclusively. It focuses on a given point but spreads
throughout the whole frequency spectrum. Setting the MID-HI
TUNE requires more attention than setting a simple graphic EQ:
you have to always listen to the sound as a whole. The advantage
is that, together with the BASS and PROCESS controls, you can
process signals to a significant extent. As we mentioned before,
the Vitalizer is based on psychoacoustic and audiometric princi-
ples so all processing is aimed at optimizing your sound – faster
than with any other technique – to make it sound better.
