With material which has stereo bass information, orwhich contains some rever-
beration, the effect of raising SPEQ is to increase the sense of spaciousness and
depth of the sound. It is particularly useful on material recorded with panpots, or
coincident and semi-coincident microphone technique.
When most of the bass in a recording is in the sum (mono) channel, raising
SPEQ may reduce the bass level. This effect can be compensated for by raising
the overall bass level with BASL and BASR. Since both controls use the same
BXOV setting, this compensation will be quite accurate as long as SPEQ is set
to less than 3 dB boost.
