To achieve enlightenment in Zen, you must try it out yourself! Start with very high boost and cut to hear
the effect clearly, notice a smoothing in the center frequency. Now take away the cut. Notice how the center
frequency jumps out and becomes very aggressive. In normal use, such extreme boosts and cuts are not needed.
With max boost, it might be too much for the source, but the PEQ always sounds smooth!
Taking advantage of the high pass lter: The EQ232P HPF can be added to reduce the effect of the extremes
of the PEQ low end boost (pictured below). This can result in a dip in the low-end response, followed by a lift
further up in the frequency spectrum, useful for adding body and girth to the lower mids, but still keeping the low
end clear of mud and buildup. Remember, you can always save your settings and come back to them later, and
don’t forget the A/B button! Experimentation is the key.

PEQ High Frequency band use
Simple HF Boosting: The PEQ’s high frequency boost is a standard bell shape with adjustable bandwidth at 3
kHz, 4 kHz, 5 kHz, 6 kHz, 10 kHz, 12 kHz, or 16 kHz, pictured below.
