Forexample,ifyouarerunning
stage monitors, and someone wants

Channel Equalization (EQ)
All VLZ44•Busmonochannelshave3-bandEQwith
shelvinghigh,peakingmidwithadjustablemid
frequencyandshelvinglow.Thestereochannelshave
peakinghi-midandpeakinglow-midEQcontrolsin
additiontotheshelvinghighandshelvinglowEQ
controls.
Shelvingmeansthatthecircuitryboostsorcutsall
frequenciespastthespeciedfrequency.Forexample,
thelowEQboostsbassfrequenciesbelow80Hzand
continuingdowntothelowestnoteyouneverheard.
Peakingmeansthatcertainfrequenciesforma“hill”
aroundthecenterfrequency.
WithtoomuchEQ,youcanreallyupsetthings.
We’vedesignedalotofboostandcutintoeach
equalizercircuitbecauseweknowthateveryone
willoccasionallyneedthat.ButifyoumaxtheEQ
oneverychannel,you’llgetmixmush.Equalizesubtly
andusetheleftsidesoftheknobs(cut),aswellasthe
right(boost).Ifyoundyourselfrepeatedlyusinga

suchasplacingamicdifferently,tryingadifferentkind
