6.8Adjusting the Graphic Equalizer

The graphic equalizer allows you to use fixed frequencies to tailor the frequency content of an audio signal. This allows you to tailor the audio signal frequency content to optimize the frequency response of the sound system.

The graphic equalizer parameters are set per channel.

 

To adjust the graphic equalizer settings for a channel:

Step 1On the appliance Web UI’s main page, select DSP.

Step 2Select the Menu button for the channel.

Step 3From the drop-down menu, select Graphic EQ.

The Graphic EQ provides 16 slider knobs that can be moved between +12 dB and -12 dB. The frequency of each slider is different and range from 25 Hz to 20,000 (20k) Hz. By default, each knob is set at 0 dB, which means that no frequencies are being boosted or cut.

Note: For the best results, frequencies should be cut only. Boost­ing frequencies to compensate for room dimensions or speaker response deficiencies usually results in a loss of headroom in the signal chain.

Step 4Adjust frequencies as desired, ensuring the Enable LEDs are green for the selected frequencies.

Note: If you want to return to the factory settings, select the Reset icon that appears in the right corner.
