Operation Of Graphic Equalizer - Kenwood GE-970 Instruction Manual

Operation of graphic equalizer
1. DEMO (Demonstration)
2. Al-AUTO (available only for CD play)
4. AI-LINK (available for all input sources)
When the presence mode is selected, optimum equalizer curve for this mode is selected automatically to enhance the |
presence effect. The LINEAR ACOUSTIC control knob on the amplifier (A-87, A-97) is set automatically according to the
selected sound field.
5. AI FILE (available only for CD play)
The equalizer curve set with the Al feature and the balance set with the LINEAR ACOUSTIC control of the amplifier can
be stored for up to 60 Compact Discs. When a CD with its data stored in the Al File is played, this function makes the
time of Al setting (about 30 seconds) unnecessary. If a presence mode (F.2ch, F.4ch, S.4ch) is selected, the optimum
ASFC (the setting factor determining the sound expansion) is also set automatically.
6. MANUAL/REFERENCE modes
REFERENCE:
Ten exemplary patterns have been preset at the factory. (Refer to page 14.)
MANUAL:
Five preset patterns have been factory-preset for this mode, too. In this mode, it is also possible
to preset (assign) equalizer patterns created by the user in place of the factory presets.
7. CHARACTER
In the spectrum analyzer display mode, the level of the music being played and changes of frequency distribution with
four different patterns are displayed.
SPE. ANA 1: NORMAL Normal spectrum analyzer display
2: SHOWER
Reversed normal spectrum analyzer display with the normal peak hold levels display
3. HORIZONTAL
Displays right and left levels with the frequency band in vertical axis and level in
horizontal axis.
4; SEE-THROUGH Displays peak and peak hold levels only.
ANIMATION
Displays various patterns regardless of the freguency or level.
8. REC MODE (For car stereo, headphone stereo)
The equalizer pattern displayed is also applied to the sound recorded on tape. In addition, a recording equalizer curve
"CAR', which records sound so that optimum balance is obtained when the tape is played on a car stereo, and
recording equalizer curve "HEADPHONE ST.", which records sound so that optimum balance is obtained when 'the
tape is played on a headphone stereo, are provided. By selecting one of these two REC MODES together with an
equalizer pattern of Al-AUTO or MANUAL/REFERENCE, both effects can be applied to the recording, so that thetape
simulates the sound of a listening room through a car stereo or headphone stereo. (Refer to page 16.)
