® independent Left and Right Channei Level Adjustment for Twelve Frequency Bands
The EQ-540 has twelve (left/right) pairs of level controls with center frequencies ranging from 16Hz to 32kHz. The very low and very
high (16Hz and 32kHz) frequency controls double as sub- and ultrasonic filters. Each level contro! has its own LED indicator, enabling
the
user
to
check
the
current
response
setting
even
from
a
distance.
The
slider-type
controls,
situated
side
by
side
for
the
left
and
right
channels, enhance control accuracy and make it easy to maintain balance between channels.
@ Built-In Test Frequency Generator for Accurate Level Setting
The
EQ-540
can
generate
both
warble
and
fixed
tone
test
signals
in
two
different
modes:
“spot”
and
“stepped”
sweep.
Using
warble
test tones minimizes the influence of standing waves and natural room resonances, so much more accurate level settings are possible
than
with
conventional
fixed
frequencies.
In
spot
mode,
the
test
frequency
rises
in
single
steps
each
time
you
press
a
key.
In
the
stepped
sweep
mode,
the
unit
generates
test
signals
consecutively
at
each
center
frequency
from
32Hz
to
16kHz.
In
both
modes
the
corresponding
LED
indicators
light
and
the
fluorescent
display
provides
a
digital
readout
of
the
frequency
being
tested.
Test
signals
may
be
generated
simultaneously in both channels or in each channel separately.
