Equalizer (EQ)
Equalizer (also called “EQ”) is a sound processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands which 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. The sound is divided
into several frequency bands, allowing you to correct the sound by raising or lowering the level for each band. EQ allows you to
adjust the tone or timbre of the sound to match the performance space, or to compensate for certain acoustic characteristics in
your 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.
The Tyros2 possesses a high grade five-band digital EQ. With this function, a final effect—tone control—can be added to the
output of your instrument. You can even create your own custom EQ settings by adjusting the frequency bands, and save the
settings to one of two User Master EQ types. Along with the five Preset EQ settings, these can be called up as needed from the

Master EQ type editing
Selecting a Master EQ
type automatically set the
parameters displayed at
the bottom of this display.
Whenever an EQ band is edited, the corresponding EQ value is high-
lighted and the number of the edited band appears above the Q and
FREQ controls. The Q and FREQ controls can then be used to adjust
the Q (bandwidth) and the FREQ (center frequency) of the selected
band. The higher the Q setting, the narrower the bandwidth. The avail-
able FREQ range is different for each band.
The PRESET and USER curves
can be edited as required via the
corresponding buttons. Each of
the five bands can be boosted or
cut by up to 12 dB.
