Advice: If you do not find the Menu item number, press the [SELECT] knob

momentarily to switch the Menu item name to the Menu item number.

7. Rotate the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob to perform adjustments to a particular Menu item.

8. Close the PTT switch, and speak into the microphone while listening to the effects

of the changes you are making. Because the overall effect on the sound will change

with each adjustment you make, you should make several passes through each

adjustment area, to be sure that you are achieving the optimum setting.

9. When you have completed all adjustments, press and hold in the [MENU] button

for two seconds to save the new settings and exit to normal operation. If you only

press the [MENU] button momentarily to exit, any changes you performed will not

be stored.

Advice: To roll off excessive bass response in a wide-range studio microphone, try

putting a 10 dB null at 100 Hz with a bandwidth of “1” or “2”, do about a 3 dB null

centered on 800 Hz with a bandwidth of “3,” and then put an 8 dB peak centered on

2100 Hz with a bandwidth of “1.” These are starting recommendations; each

microphone and user’s voice will be different, often requiring different settings.
