Chapter 2 – Quickstart Guide
At left: The EQ section of the Kramer HLS.
• High frequency EQ: Grab and turn the top knob to boost or cut high
frequencies.
• Midrange EQ is controlled by a combination of two knobs and a
switch:
o
The Mid gain knob sets the amount of midrange frequency
gain adjustment.
o
Below it is the switch that determines whether to boost (PK)
or cut (TR).
o The knob to the left selects the center frequency of the
midrange EQ (in kHz).
•
Low frequency adjustment is contro
lled by two knobs:
o
The top Bass knob spec
ifies the amount of boost for the
frequency selected in the top half of the bottom knob’s scale.
o The lower half of the bottom knob’s scale cuts lows at 50Hz.
(In this mode, the upper bass knob is inactive.)
To control analog coloration, use the Source
switch to select Mic/Line amplification and the
Preamp knob to select the amount of coloration.
Higher values introduce more harmonic
distortion with increased noise and hum. The
overall level will not change significantly, as the
HLS recreates the coloration alone, not the
amplification itself.
If the noise level is excessive, set the Noise
switch to LO. To retain only the modeled
harmonic distortion, bypass the noise and hum
by setting Analog to OFF.
