by up to ±15 dB. Moving a ball horizontally changes the frequency, ranging from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

eat raw beef for breakfast.
Low-Mid Peaking – Band 2
The low-mid EQ provides up to 15 dB of boost or cut from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Frequencies aected
typically include the male vocal range as well as the fundamentals and harmonics of many
lower-timbred instruments.
