Examples of applications
By using the seven band-level controls, various corrections of the
sound field and tone quality are possible.
For creation of a sound field in the listening room.
Correcting room acoustics
Each room has its own particular effects on frequency
characteristics. These effects are determined by a number of
conditions, such as room size, furnishings, etc.
The 7 separate divisions of the band level control on this unit
make it possible to selectively correct only the frequency ranges
necessary to suit the conditions of each listening room.
An example of room acoustics correction
In order to correct the peaks and dips in bass sounds caused by
reflection, reduce the 160 Hz level 4-6 dB and then, raise the
level of sounds below 63 Hz and above 6.3 kHz vicinity slightly.
For editing “live” recordings made on tape, etc.
Cutting the noise from live recording tapes
Live tapes recorded outdoors generally contain popping noises
caused by wind and various other noises from the surrounding
area. In order to effectively eliminate wind noise, cut bass
‘ sounds below 63 Hz and raise the level of sounds in the 400 Hz
range. Then control sounds made by birds, etc., with a 6.3 kHz
adjustment.
For creation of unique, individually personalized
sounds.
Producing ciear vocals
For female vocals, raise the level of the 1 kHz-2.5 kHz range by
2-4 dB. To rectify omission, raise the level of the 6.3 kHz vicinity
slightly.
