Compensation for the audio characteristics of the
listening room
The listening room may contain several objects. Some of
them reflect sound and some absorb sound, thus the
sound reaching your ears is considerably affected by
these objects.
In such cases, the graphic equalizer can be used to
adjust the frequency response of the room for a flat
response from low to high frequencies.
© Low frequencies are absorbed by beds, chairs, etc.
@ High frequencies are absorbed by curtains, screens,
etc.
@ The room structure can cause the low frequencies to
be unclear, or the sound level to increase or decrease
depending on the frequency.
Adjustment of sound to your individual! taste
When the reproduced sound contains several musical
instruments and voices, the graphic equalizer allows you
to enhance or attenuate the sound of specific instru-
ments Or voices.
M@ Sound equalization
® Super bass range (32 Hz, 55 Hz)
When these controls are moved up, the bass instru-
ment (double bass, bass drums, or pipe organ, etc.)
sOund is increased.
When the super bass sound is boomy, move these
controls down.
® Bass range (90 Hz, 150 Hz)
Usually, the listening room resonance frequency is in
this range.
To eliminate bass resonance, move these controls
down.
® Mid-bass range (240 Hz, 400 Hz)
This range is the basis of music. Whether the sound is
rich or not, depends on this range. When the playback
sOund is not so good, move this control up.
© Mid range (620 Hz, 1 kHz)
When these controls are moved up or down, the
bariton or soprano voice is emphasized/de-empha-
sized. This range is related to the "presence" of music.
@ Mid-high range (1.6 kHz, 2.6 kHz)
This range is related to stimulous and metallic sound.
When this range is well compensated, vivid sound can
be obtained.
® High range (4.2 kHz, 6.8 kHz)
This frequency range is related to the hardness of the
sound. When these controls are moved up, strings or
brass instruments, such as the flute or piccolo, are
emphasized. When these controls are moved down,
the sound will be more soothing.
© Super high range (10 kHz, 16 kHz)
This frequency range is related to the details of the
music. When these controls are moved up, superhigh
frequency instruments, such as triangle or cymbal, are
emphasized, resulting in wide sound and echoes.
