■ 3BAND EQ (3-BAND EQUALIZER)
Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound output from amps or speakers to match the special character of the
room. The sound is divided into several frequency bands, allowing you to correct the sound by raising or lowering
the level for each band. The PSR-2000 features a high grade three-band digital equalizer function for the
microphone sound.
Hz .............. Adjusts the center frequency of the corresponding band.
dB ............... Boosts or cuts the level of the corresponding band by up to 12 dB.
■ NOISE GATE
This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified level. This effectively
cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.
SW.............. “SW” is the abbreviation of Switch. This turns Noise Gate on or off.
TH. ............. “TH.” is the abbreviation of Threshold. This adjusts the input level at which the gate begins to open.
