Quick Point: The Parametric Equalizer is a unique technique for adjusting the signal
quality. Because the three ranges may be adjusted so precisely, it is possible to craft a
response that provides a more natural and pleasant sound than you have ever
experienced before. Effective “talk power” can also be significantly enhanced.
The aspects of configuration that you may adjust on the Parametric Equalizer are:
Center Frequency: The center frequency of each of the three bands may be
adjusted.
Gain: The amount of enhancement (or suppression) within each band
may be adjusted.
Q: The bandwidth over which the equalization is applied may be
adjusted.
Setup of the Parametric Microphone Equalizer
1. Connect the microphone to the MIC jack.
2. Set the RF output power to minimum value via the Menu item “111 TGEN TX
PWR”, so as not to cause interference to other users during adjustment.
Advice:
We recommend you consider connecting a dummy load to one of the Antenna
jacks, and monitor your signal on a separate receiver, so as to prevent
interference to other users.
You will have the best chance of hearing the effects of adjustments if you wear
headphones (connected to the monitor receiver) while monitoring your
transmitted signal.
3. To adjust the Parametric Microphone Equalizer while the speech processor is
disabled, press the [PROC] button until the “MIC EQ” icon appears in the display.
To adjust the Parametric Microphone Equalizer with the speech processor engaged,
press the [PROC] button until the “MIC EQ” and “PROC” icons appear in the
display.
4. Press the [MONI] button, if you want to listen on the FT-950’s internal monitor.
5. Press the [MENU] button momentarily. The Menu list will appear in the display.
6. Rotate the [SELECT] knob to find the “EQ” Menu area, containing Menu items
“091” through “100”; these parameters apply to the adjustment of the Parametric
Microphone Equalizer when the speech processor is disabled. Menu items “100”
through “108” apply to the adjustment of the Parametric Microphone Equalizer
when the speech processor is engaged.
