Sign in to disble this ad
hi this i my first post.... 
anyways, i was wondering if anyone knew the Hz of the EQ knobs on the M80? The manual gives no info on this subject, which is rather disappointing. Thanks for all your help.

I decided to reEQ my amp, and m80 today and just want to know which frequencies the knobs were centered around. |

Bass +-18 dB @ 60 Hz, shelving
Mid +-10 dB @ 850 Hz
Treble +-12 dB @ 4 Hz, shelving |

| | | | Hey, FOH. Could you test the "Color" EQ curve to determine how it affects the different frequencies? Since, the EQ knobs are active aswell it could help us fine tune the curve better. Thanks. |

If not I commend you for figuring that out.  That's what I call smart!

|  | Registered Groover | | Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Missoula Montana | | | I've also been wondering what the "Color" switch does. Its sort of funny because I use the color switch and then boost the mids quite a bit. Curious as to what this is actually doing.
my M80 is still very new and there is much I can still learn about it as the manual doesn't explain much.
