If the control is moved to the DECREASE position, the frequency response of the system is decreased in the high treble range above 10 kHz . This control may be used as a scratch filter, or to modify the response of some recordings which are excessively bright in the high treble range. TREBLE LEVEL The next frequency control is a rotary switch labeled TREBLE LEVEL. This control has 5 positions. The third position is the normal, or "dotted" position. The "dotted" position is the preferred position for use in rooms of average acoustical properties.

HIGH
FREQUENCY
The
next
frequency
control
of
the
901
Equalizer
is
labeled
HIGH
FREQ.
If
the
control
is
moved
to
the
DECREASE
position,
the
frequency
response
of
the
system
is
decreased
in
the
high
treble
range
above
10
kHz
.
This
control
may
be
used
as
a
scratch
filter,
or
to
modify
the
response
of
some
recordings
which
are
excessively
bright
in
the
high
treble
range.
TREBLE
LEVEL
The
next
frequency
control
is
a
rotary
switch
labeled
TREBLE
LEVEL.
This
control
has
5
positions.
The
third
position
is
the
normal,
or
"dotted"
position.
The
"dotted"
position
is
the
preferred
position
for
use
in
rooms

average
acoustical
properties.
