  3 Basics of Equalization 27 This section will exp lain how equalization w orks, and explain the functions of the DEQ230’ s controls . What is equalization? An equalizer boosts or cuts a frequency range. The DEQ230 is a graphic equalizer , which means it has many fix ed freque ncy bands that can be cut or booste d. The ter m «graphic» is[…]

  Basics of Equalization 3 33 Band Gain Cut/Boost Ranges Whether y ou are cutting or boosting a band, the first 10 dB of change happens in 0.5 dB increments . The last 2 dB of change, going from +/-10 dB to +/-12 dB , happens in increme nts of 1.0 dB . So as you make the c han ge, the Numeric LED Display will show you v alues like this: 0.5, 1.0, 1.5[…]
