MF EQ 
The MF (Mid Frequency) equaliser affects the middle of the audible 
frequency range. The frequency graduations on the sweep control 
are the centre frequencies of the EQ. The range has been carefully 
chosen to cover “boomy” frequencies around 120Hz to 250Hz 
which may need cutting back, or a lift at 2 to 3kHz may be required 
for microphone intelligibility. 
LF EQ 
The LF (Low Frequency) equaliser 
affects the response at the low end of 
the audio range. The graph shows the 
response of the LF EQ at maximum 
cut and boost. The corner frequency 
is 80Hz. 
HF EQ 
The HF (High Frequency) equaliser affects the frequency response 
of the higher audible frequencies. The corner frequency of 12kHz is 
around 3dB from the maximum cut or boost of the circuit. It has 
plenty of gain and actually gives slightly more that the +/-15dB leg-
end suggests.
