THE TONE PAGE
The IB304F also features a very simple but effective tone control which is accessed on the
next page down:
The TONE section can best be described as ‘spectral tilt’. If you imagine a see-saw, the bench
is the SLOPE parameter and the fulcrum over which it rocks is the centre FREQ(uency)
parameter. For example, when the controls are set as shown in the above screen diagram, the
response would be flat but with a setting of 50 for the centre FREQuency parameter and +50
for the slope parameter, you would have a response graph something like this:
L
E
V
E
L
FREQUENCY
+
-
CENTRE FREQUENCY
CENTRE FREQUENCY=50 SLOPE=+50
Here, bass frequencies are attenuated whilst high frequencies are boosted. Setting the
SLOPE parameter to -50 would reverse the angle, cutting high frequencies and boosting LF.
By setting the SLOPE lower, you may create a tone response something like this:
L
E
V
E
L
FREQUENCY
+
-
CENTRE FREQUENCY
CENTRE FREQUENCY=25 SLOPE=+50
Here, some bass frequencies are cut but some mid and a lot of high frequencies are boosted.
Setting a higher FREQ value with a negative slope value may produce something like this:
L
E
V

CENTRE FREQUENCY

CENTRE FREQUENCY=75 SLOPE=50
Here, bass frequencies and some mid range components are boosted whilst high frequencies
are cut.
