ORBAN MODEL 8300
Because the Five-Band structure often increases the brightness of program material,
some bass boost is usually desirable to keep the sound spectrally well balanced. Ad-
justment of bass equalization must be determined by individual taste and by the re-
quirements of your format. Be sure to listen on a wide variety of radios — it is possi-
ble to create severe distortion on poor quality speakers by over-equalizing the bass.
Be careful!
The moderate-slope (12 dB/octave) shelving boost achieves a bass boost that is more
audible on smaller radios, but which can sound boomier on high-quality receivers.
The steep-slope (18 dB/octave) shelving boost creates a solid, punchy bass from the
better consumer radios with decent bass response. The 6 dB/octave shelving boost is
like a conventional tone control and creates the most mid-bass boost, yielding a
“warmer” sound. Because it affects the mid-bass frequency range, where the ear is
more sensitive than it is to very low bass, the 6 dB/octave slope can create more ap-
parent bass level at the cost of bass “punch.”
There are no easy choices here; you must choose the characteristic you want by
identifying your target audience and the receivers they are most likely to be using.
Regardless of which curve you use, we recommend a +2 to +5 dB boost for most
