Slide the control up to boost the level or down to reduce the level in the indicated frequency range. If you set the control to the center position, the frequency range is unaltered. Each control affects the sound as follows. 100 Hz -- boosts or cuts the frequencies in the low bass range (low organ notes and bass drums). Also compensates for poor bass response in recordings or reduces rumble or other low-frequency noise. 300 Hz -- adjusts frequencies in the middle-bass range (timpani and some low, brass instruments). 1 kHz -- adjusts the range of frequencies where the ear is most sensitive (vocals). 3 kHz -- adjusts the range of frequencies that includes vocals and upper-midrange instruments (clarinet and saxophone). 12 kHz -- adjusts high-frequency sounds (cymbals, flutes, and violins). HEADPHONE LISTENING For private listening or to monitor sound while you record, you can connect low-impedance headphones (not supplied) with a 1/4-inch plug. To connect the headphones, insert the headphone cord's plug into the PHONES jack. Then, press out the SPEAKERS switch(es). LISTENING SAFELY To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones. * Set the volume to its lowest level before you begin listening. After you put on the headphones, adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level. * Do not listen at extremely high-volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. * Do not increase the volume once you establish a comfortable listening level. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing. (tlc/all-08/31/93)
