the ZP-2DM, the midrange control is a knob on the instrument’s face. Turning

About the system
Volume control.
Unlike passive volume controls, which decrease the volume
by shorting some of the signal to ground, causing degradation in tone, the
active volume control on the ZP2 allows the volume to be set to any level with-
out overall loss of highs or tonal change. Play a note, let it ring while slowly
turning this control up and down, and you’ll hear no change in tone.
Pickup blend control.
Buffered inputs provide exacting control over blending
the neck and bridge pickups. This feature allows even the most subtle blend,
for a greater variety of tone. Turning the control clockwise brings in the bridge
pickup. Turning the control counterclockwise brings in the neck pickup. The
detent, or “click,” in the center of the control is the point where both pickups are
on equally.
Bass control.
15dB boost or cut of bass at a center frequency of 30 Hz.
Turning the control clockwise boosts the bass. Turning the control counter-
clockwise cuts the bass. The detent, or “click,” in the center of the control is the
“flat” position, zero boost or cut.
Midrange control.
15dB boost or cut of midrange at a center frequency of
330 Hz. On basses equipped with the ZP-2D, the midrange control is an inter-
nal trimmer on the circuit board. Turning the control clockwise boosts the mids.
Turning the control counterclockwise cuts the mids. The midpoint in the con-
trol’s sweep is the “flat” position, zero boost or cut. (You will need to remove
the control cavity’s cover plate to adjust this control.) On basses equipped with
