O
AlT/LEFT-RIGHT controls
When these controls are set to the fully clockwise posi-
tion the equalizer provides 'unity gain' which means that
the level of signal output is the same as the level of signal
input when all frequency controls are set
to
flat
(0)
posi-
tion. When these controls are rotated counterclockwise
the output level of the equalizer is attenuated.
These controls also affect the sensitivity of the SPEC-
TRUM ANALYZER; however they do not affect the re-
cording signal onto
the
cassette deck(s) when making a
recording.
O
EQ button
Depress to use the FREQUENCY
(Hz)
level controls (the
control LEDs turn on). This button is also depressed to
make an equalized tape recording. Release this button
to bypass the equalizer when no equalization is desired
(the control LEDs turn off). This button also activates the
SUBSONIC FILTER button.

deck -in two way. Set this selector
to

system. (Never connect
a
headphone here!)
([I)
LINE-MIC button
Depress this button to make the analyzer measurements
of the signal from the microphone. When released out
(LINE), the analyzer measurements are made from the
LlNE output signal.
Q)
SUBSONIC FILTER button
Operates when the EQ button is depressed and low fre-
quency hum
or
turntable rumble does not affect your pro-
gram material. The SUBSONIC FILTER circuit functions
to attenuate the output below
15
Hz
by
-
18
dB/octave.
Subsonic filtered signals can be recorded on the tape
deck
(s) if the REC and
EQ
buttons are depressed.
@
PINK NOISE button
Press this button (the MONITOR selector should be set to
SOURCE) and a pink noise will be displayed on the
