Some Special Features
This chapter introduces some other special features.
The instructions for their use can be found in the Owner’s Manual.
The Spectrum Analyzer
This system is equipped with a Spectrum Analyzer, with which you can
measure the frequency characteristics of signals. This Spectrum Analyzer
(referred to as “analyzer” for the remainder of this section) divides input
signal frequencies into 31 narrow bands, and displays the momentary level
of each band on a graph in real-time. This allows you to become visually
acquainted with the frequency characteristics of your recorded work, the
frequency response of a concert hall, or even to pinpoint problem frequency
ranges when a howling occurs.

Some Examples of How to Use the Spectrum Analyzer
• To create a perfectly balanced mix, you can use the analyzer to view
the distribution of frequencies in your material. This can help you
determine what EQ is needed during the mixing process.
• Using the built-in noise generator, you can inspect the frequency
response of a concert hall by analyzing microphone signals that
capture a noise burst sounded in the hall.
• You may use a built-in 31-band graphic equalizer – the same number
of bands as the analyzer – to monitor and adjust frequency balance
problems in real time.
