yep, it's always turned on... i'm giving a non-audiophile description here, but it's an equalizer, which means that the sliders are for different bands... think of it as treble on one end, bass on the other, and a spectrum in between. vocal tracks and different instrumental tracks lie on different bands, so you can emphasize the music for your tastes and speakers. you can bring out the vocals in your showtunes and bring out the bass in your jazz... customized for say, bass-heavy speakers. very handy.
use one of the presets if you want to try it out. switch between a few, listening to relatively even music. you can hear differences. find one you like, play around 🙂

Actually, I'd say that you should keep playing until you get certain settings you like and save them. You can apply them individually to tracks within iTunes in get info.
If you have analog music tracks, they'll require more work since there was volume limiting and consumer tape machines were quite limited in frequency response going either way from 1000 Hz. (440 Hz is the A above middle C)
