brightness to the sound.
MID : This is where the PAX12+ tone controls differ
from those on a HI-FI. As the name suggests it can
increase or decrease sounds in the middle range. A
powerful control, especially on a stage monitor, it can
help ‘lift’ the vocal range through a noisy stage
environment giving clear monitoring to the singer.
LO : Again, like the tone controls on a HI-FI can
increase or decrease the sounds in the bass
frequencies. In the playback of music it helps make the
bass section more prominent. For microphones, doing
the opposite and removing a little bass can help
reduce the ‘popping’ sound often apparent when using
a microphone too close to the mouth.
For best results, try to avoid extreme control settings
as it can reduce sound quality and add to feedback
problems.
6. NOTCH FILTER and switch : When using stage
monitors the biggest problem is getting sufficient
volume without feedback. Feedback occurs when a
microphone picks up the sound from the speaker
system or monitor, amplifies it and sends it back to the
microphone. Generally, the start of feedback tends to
be at one frequency, depending on the placement and
room acoustics. The notch filter works like a tone
control but removes or cuts a narrow band of sound.
Once switched on (when the yellow LED is illuminated)
rotate the NOTCH control until you ‘find’ the feedback
frequency which should remove it completely allowing
a little more volume to be used. Note that adding too
much volume will start feedback at another frequency,
so care should be used.
