Mixing Console
Equalizer (also called “EQ”) is a sound processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands
that can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. Usually an equalizer is used to
correct the sound from speakers to match the special character of the room. For example, you can cut some of
the low range frequencies when playing in large spaces where the sound is too “boomy,” or boost the high
frequencies in rooms and close spaces where the sound is relatively “dead” and free of echoes.
As shown below, this instrument possesses a high grade five-band Master EQ which is applied to the entire
sound. You can select one of five preset EQ types and create two User Master EQ types by editing the related
parameters. In addition to the Master EQ, Part EQ is available, letting you boost/cut the high band or low
band for each Part.
