28 TASCAM X-9 Owner’s Manual9 – EQEach program has three bands of sweepable EQ withadjustable Q available for changing the way that thesignal sounds.Up to 100 settings can be stored, and recalled forlater use.Even if the settings were stored for one program,they can be recalled and used again with another pro-gram.The controls for each program consistof three dual knobs.The inner knob controls the amount(GAIN) that the signal is cut or boostedfor the appropriate band. Turn clock-wise to boost, counterclockwise to cut.The amount that the signal is cut canbe up to 40 dB of cut, and it can beboosted by up to 12 dB in each band.The outer knob of each pair (FREQ) controls the fre-quency on which the band works. Turn clockwise toaffect a higher frequency, counter-clockwise to affecta lower frequency.The HIGH (treble) band can be set to a value between6 kHz (6,000 Hz) and 20 kHz (20,000 Hz).The MID (mid-range) band can be set to a valuebetween 200 Hz and 6 kHz (6,000 Hz).The LOW (bass) band can be set to a value between20 Hz and 200 Hz.WARNINGIf you turn the GAIN of all bands to a boost signal, youmay overload the X-9 and your amplifier, resulting indistortion. “Back off” using the TRIM control if thisoccurs.EQ Q settingThe ‘Q’ of EQ is how much of the signal is affectedby the equalization.The higher the Q value, the sharper the EQ curve(and the smaller part of the signal affected by theEQ).There are three Q values, which may be set for eachband using the menu system (see “Program EQ Qvalues” on page 19 (11_E)for details).The three settings are A (low Q), Nor (normal set-ting) and b (high Q).Cutting the EQ bandsIf you want to make an instant cut of 40 dB in one ofthe bands, use one of the sets of LO CUT, MID CUTand HI CUT controls to cut the appropriate band(when the switch is down, the band is cut).NOTEThese controls do not affect the input programsdirectly—they affect the signal assigned to the A and Bcross-fade signals.These controls do not affect the sampler outputs.Viewing EQ settingsBecause its EQ circuits are digital, the X-9 allowsyou to see the exact figures associated with an EQsetting (for instance, 12 dB of cut at 400 Hz, etc.).The EQ settings can be viewed for any of the fourprograms (but not for the microphone, whose EQ set-tings cannot be memorized and recalled).High Q value(b setting)(Low Q valueA setting) |
