meade916 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Use the 0db track. Probe the deck and find its maximum non distorted output. Say its 45/50. Leave it at 45 (and on the same 0db track) and then probe the processor (three.2). Leave it flat for now. Turn up the master volume on the processor until you see the distortion light come on. Leave it on that spot and take a note of it. More than likely, it wont distort even all the way up. If it doesn't, leave it all the way up and then move on to the amps. Use -5 or -10 gain overlap tracks at the amplifiers. For most, -5 on mids/highs and -10 on bass works. That's up to you, read the manual and decide. Now you can adjust your eq settings back to where you want them on the processor and amp's on board x-overs. Its pretty easy process.

Swordlordboy1234 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Is it also true that once that it all done you can only EQ down not up?

meade916 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Is it also true that once that it all done you can only EQ down not up?no, you can go up if you want. But of course, EQin'g is about cutting anywhere you can and only boosting very slightly. It's never a good idea to boost a frequency too much. I can tell you this, starting out flat on the EQ, just using the DD-1, your system should already sound better and you will find yourself not wanting to boost the shit out of the frequencies like you used to.

No drawing smiley faces with the sliders anymore I leave mine flat and it sounds great but I'm no SQ audio file guy. I was just trying to learn a bit incase I ever did decide to get an EQ with more then 5 bandsEdit : anyone that I've tuned their system with the DD1 bass boost off and flat EQ's and they always questioned me until they heard it.
