EQ 150 Hz band (-12...12 dB)

The 150 Hz EQ knob is used to set the gain of the 150 Hz EQ
band between -12 and +12 dB.

EQ 600 Hz band (-12...12 dB)

The 600 Hz EQ knob is used to set the gain of the 600 Hz EQ
band between -12 and +12dB.

EQ 2 kHz band (-12...12 dB)

The 2 kHz EQ knob is used to set the gain of the 2 kHz EQ
band between -12 and +12 dB.

EQ 6 kHz band (-12...12 dB)

The 6 kHz EQ knob is used to set the gain of the 6 kHz EQ
band between -12 and +12 dB.

NOTE: The equalizer is applied to the processed signal. It is imple-

mented as a graphic EQ so the bands are highly interactive.
