URBAN: There are two URBAN (Rap) presets: HEAVY and LIGHT. These are similar to
ROCK-MEDIUM and ROCK-OPEN but with a different bass sound. They use the 3-pole

Rap, Hip-Hop, Black, R&B, Dance and other similar formats.
URBAN-LIGHT is appro-

or LOUD+SLAM, modified versions of LOUD-HOT that maximize bass
punch.
