How To Use EQ
If your mixer has bass and treble controls, their frequencies are preset at the factory (usually at 100 Hz and 10 kHz). Set the EQ knob at 0 to have no effect ("flat" setting). Turn it clockwise for a boost; turn it counterclockwise for a cut. If your mixer has sweepable EQ, one knob sets the frequency range while another sets the amount of boost or cut.
As we said, the tone quality of a voice or instrument depends on the relative levels of its fundamentals and harmonics. Listed below are the fundamental and harmonic frequencies for female and male voices:
Female voice fundamentals: 175-1175 Hz
Female voice harmonics: 2-12 kHz
Male voice fundamentals: 87-494 Hz
Male voice harmonics: 1-12 kHz
