Tweeter level control
You can use the TWEETER con-

within the range of +/- 3 dB.
The center position (0 dB) is the
nominal position. Turning the
control right boosts the tweeter
level, while turning it left drops
the level (see the graph right).
When the unit is shipped, the
TWEETER control is set to the
center (0 dB).
Low (around 55Hz range) EQ
You can use the LO EQ control
to boost/cut the low frequency
(around 55Hz range) within the
range of +/-3 dB. Turning the
control right boosts the low fre-
quencies, while turning it left
cuts the low frequencies (see
the graph below).
