MICRO
EQ
Description
The Alesis
MICRO EQ is
a mono
3 band semi-parametric
equalizer
with
sweepable frequencies
and switchable bandwidth
controls.
Equalization,
or
EQ, is
the ability to control
the
harmonic
balance, or timbre, of an instrument, and can be used to
compen$ate
for frequency
deficiencies
in
either
microphones
or
sound equipment.
There
are three different types
of
equalizers,
all
of
which
you
are
probably
familiar
with.
The most
common type of equalizer
is
the Shelving
type.
This is
the simple bass and/or treble control
normally found
on stereo
systems,
guitar
amplifiers, etc.
The
term shelving
refers to the
amplitude
plateau,
or shelf, beginning at the turnover
point(s) (100
Hz
and
10kHz in
the diagram) and extending to the
high
(or
low)
end
limit
of the equalizer.
The frequencies
below
(or
above)
the
turnover
point
of the shelf are also atfected, but
less
and
less
so
the
further
away
from
the turnover
point.
