Brand NEW! Applying EQ to Bass Instruments When frequencies from 20 Hz - 200 Hz are boosted or cut, the bass is affected dramatically, since sounds in this range are often felt, as well as being heard. Boosting frequencies within this range can increase the sensation of power and punch. Conversely, reductions in this range can weaken or muddy low-frequency response. The fundamental notes of most basses fall within the 40 Hz - 1000 Hz range. Even slight changes in this range can cause a tremendous variation in overall bass energy and impact, as the human ear is especially sensitive to this range. Boosting frequencies around 200 Hz often gives the bass warmth and body, without a loss of definition, while boosting frequencies in the 500 Hz to 1000 Hz range tend to make bass sounds brittle. Often, better EQ results can be achieved by reducing the frequency bands that are off ending, and by turning up the overall volume rather than boosting one specific band. How the specific frequency bands of the BEQ700 can shape your sound 50 Hz (sub-bass) Boost: To thicken up sub-bass content, which is mostly felt rather than heard Cut: To eliminate stage ?rumble? and sub-bass content that can rob sound system power 120 Hz (soft bass) Boost: To enhance the lower end of the bass spectrum Cut: To reduce the tendency of low frequency content to overwhelm a small room 400 Hz (hard bass) Boost: To enhance the ?hard? bass punch of fundamental tones Cut: To reduce punch for better linkage with the kick drum 500 Hz Boost: or Cut: To control clarity and warmth 800 Hz Boost: To add an aggressive edge to the overall bass sound Cut: For reducing somewhat nasal or horn-like content 4.5 kHz Boost: To make the bass cut through the mix. Creates a more distinctive plucked tone Cut: To eliminate harshness 10 kHz Boost: To bring out the upper harmonics and add edge to the overall bass tonality Cut: Apply a cut to reduce harsh high-frequency content or hiss Sound Value The BEQ700 offers more features than anything in its class ? and it?s kind to your wallet! From its easy?to-use controls, to its noise-free On/Off switch ? the BEQ700 will keep you solidly in the zone. Try one out at your local dealer, and see just how good you and your bass can sound. - All international buyers are responsible for all tax, duties and/or customs fees.
