OPERATING THE GRAPHIC EQUALIZER
3) COLORING THE REPRODUCED
SOUND
All instruments and vocals have their own frequency
band, as shown in the figure.
By moving the controls up or down, the volume of the
instruments
preferred
can
be boosted
or other in-
struments can be attenuated.
For instance, it is possible to boost the 60 Hz frequen-
cy and give the bass drum and greater ''punch'"' or
boost the 1 kHz frequency and position the vocals at
the front. When the 6 kHz frequency is boosted, the
cymbals and "'high hat'' sound much clearer.
Instruments and vocals have a great many harmonic
components
along with the fundamental
frequency
band and so you can have lots of fun operating the 7
controls to achieve the sound of your choice.

RECORDING TECHNIQUES USING
GRAPHIC EQUALIZER
Coloring the sound of vocals or instruments
The sound of vocals and instruments can be colored at will by
operating the controls. For instance, when the 400, 1k and 2.4
k controls are raised and the other controls lowered, people's
voices sound as if heard on a telephone.
Preventing howl during mixing play
Any irritating howl during play can be prevented by lowering
the knob corresponding to the frequency band in which the
howl occurs.

Creating recorded tapes most compatible with the
playback equipment
A sound with a greater ''punch'"' can be recorded fir playback
on car stereo equipment if the ultra-low-range, which is hard
to hear, is cut out and the mid-range is boosted.
