Reference Mixing Console Equalizer (EQ) Equalizer (also called "EQ") is a sound processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands which can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound from speakers to match the special character of the room. The sound is divided into several frequency bands, allowing you to correct the sound by raising or lowering the level for each band. EQ allows you to adjust the tone or timbre of the sound to match the performance space, or to compensate for certain acoustic characteristics in your room. For example, you can cut some of the low range frequencies when playing in large spaces where the sound is too "boomy," or boost the high frequencies in rooms and close spaces where the sound is relatively "dead" and free of echoes. The TYROS possesses a high grade five-band digital EQ. With this function, a final effect-tone control-can be added to the output of your instrument. You can even create your own custom EQ settings by adjusting the frequency bands, and save the settings to one of two User Master EQ types. Along with the five Preset EQ settings, these can be called up as needed from the [MIXING CONSOLE] → EQ display.

Use the [STORE] LCD buttons to call up the pop-up window for entering the name of the edited Master EQ type. Enter the desired name and press [OK] to save. Up to two types of EQ can be created and saved. Selecting a Master EQ type automatically set the parameters displayed at the bottom of this display. The PRESET and USER curves can be edited as required via the corresponding buttons. Each of the five bands can be boosted or cut by up to 12 dB. Adjusts the overall gain of all EQ bands simultaneously. Whenever an EQ band is edited, the corresponding EQ value is highlighted and the number of the edited band appears above the Q and FREQ controls. The Q and FREQ controls can then be used to adjust the Q (bandwidth) and the FREQ (center frequency) of the selected band. The higher the "Q", the narrower the bandwidth. The available FREQ range is different for each band. 139 TYROS Owner's Manual 137
