Using the equalizer to adjust the game sound

You can use the equalizer to adjust the tonal character of the game sound (input source: GAME (SPEAKER)). This lets you emphasize important frequency ranges in the game or de-emphasize unnecessary frequency ranges.

For instance, you can use this to suppress the sound of wind or other environmental noises during an FPS game, or make sounds like footsteps or gunshots easier to hear.

On the menu screen, click the “GAME” tab to adjust the equalizer.

Menu		Value	Explanation
EQ		Off, On	Turns the equalizer on/off that’s applied to the game sound (input source: GAME (SPEAKER)).
ANALYZER		Off, On	When turned on, this measures the game audio and shows the frequency characteristics as a graph. The audio from SUB MIX (USB) is used for measurement. Note that the SUB MIX (USB) temporarily changes when the analyzer is on. Turn the analyzer off when you’re not using the equalizer.
ADVANCED		Off, On	When this is on, the frequency and gain values are shown. Also, you can set the Q (frequency bandwidth).
Frequency/gain		The frequency/gain of each band is shown as points. Drag and drop a point to set the frequency/gain.
Frequency	Band 1	20–400Hz	Specifies the boost/cut center frequency for each frequency band.
	Bands 2–4	20–470Hz
	Bands 5–7	315Hz–3.3kHz
	Bands 8, 9	3.0–20.0kHz
	Band 10	800Hz–20.0kHz
Gain	Bands 1–10	-12–+12	Sets the amount of boost/cut for each frequency band.
Q		0.3–16.0	Adjusts the bandwidth used for boosting or attenuating each frequency band. This setting is available when the “ADVANCED” switch is enabled.
