(b) Tone and balance
How good an audio program sounds to you is largely
determined by the mix of the treble, mid±range, and bass
levels. In fact, different kinds of music and vocal programs
usually sound better with different mixes of treble,
mid±range, and bass.
A good balance of the left and right stereo channels and of
the front and rear sound levels is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to a stereo recording or
broadcast, changing the right/left balance will increase the
volume of one group of sounds while decreasing the volume
of another.ªBASSº knob: Use this knob to adjust low±pitched tones.

tones.
ªBALANCEº knob: Use this knob to adjust the sound
balance between the right and left speakers.
