About Equalization
frequency areas. For example, if you decide that you want to boost one particularENGLISH
frequency area by 6 dB, try boosting the adjacent areas (the frequency directly above and
below the target frequency) by 3 dB each.
If you are using your E62i/ E31i/ E30ito equalize signal from individual instruments, here
are a few general suggestions: Boosting the low frequency areas of instruments such as
bass drums or bass guitar will add warmth and make the sound Ofatter�; conversely, you
may want to attenuate the low frequency components of instruments such as cymbals,
high-hats, and shakers so as to Othin� them out. Attenuating mid-range frequencies
(the 1 kHz - 5 kHz area) can give a vocal performance more of an OFM-radio� feel, while
boosting those frequencies can help a vocal cut through dense instrumentation. Be care-
ful not to boost high frequencies too much or you risk adding hiss to the signal, though just
a touch can help add Oshimmer� to an acoustic guitar, ride cymbal, or high-hat. You can
also use the highest or lowest equalizer sliders to reduce hiss (by attenuating high fre-
quencies) or rumble (by attenuating low frequencies). Rumble can also be attenuated by
engaging the front panel HPF switch(es), which insert a High Pass Filter centered at 80
Hz.
If you are using an E62ior E31ito equalize the signal of an overall mix in a live
performance or recording environment, check out the sections in this manual entitled
