getting to know your equalizer

Your new equalizer can enhance your sound system in the 
following ways:

•  Remedy any system suffering from rumble or low 

frequency below 30Hz overload by attenuating the 
lowermost equalizer controls so that you will not miss 
any of the music.

•  Eliminate or reduce noise due to scratches on record 

surfaces or even the hiss on a tape by bringing down 
the control level at 9 kHz. You can even compensate 
for the boosted highs on Dolby processed tape or 
encoded FM Broadcasts.

•  Equalize the tonal quality of broadcast stations if they 

attenuate or accentuate either highs or lows.

•  Adjust the controls to accommodate high 

performance recording tapes that require special 
equalization in playback.

•  Correct turntable cartridge or speaker inadequacies 

for pleasant listening. 

•  Find the appropriate equalizer control and adjust it up 

or down a few dB.

•  Adjust the equalizer to accommodate voices or music.
