Digital Equalization
Digital Controls Graphic EQ
Main L/R, Aux and Aux can
have your choice of two different
types of digital equalization.
9-band Graphic – Wide. The
bandwidth approximately two
octaves.
/ 9-band Graphic
— Narrow. This unique
SoundLink feature lets
you choose nine 1/3-oc-
tave bands.
Wide 9-band equalization is good for general shaping of PA or monitors.
31-band of equalization allows removing precise, narrow frequency bands.
From a practical standpoint, most problems can be solved with just nine precise,
narrow frequency bands. You can use the Spectrum Analyzer to locate them.
