how do you tune ur eq?


Recommended Posts

Are those frequencies? ?Then the same rule applies.

Don't boost until you learn the science behind acoustics and electricity.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

This isn't how to set an EQ. It's more how to set a parametric eq.

This is still useful because of the 7 frequencies you have to play with, you can tune by ear, if you know how.

You have the following.

50 125 315 750 2.2K 6K 16K

Listen as how he talks about the range in question. He explains what presence (female voice/male voice, cymbals, bass) is in this particular range.

So you can tune to high light that particular sound or depress it.

I have the Pioneer 960MP. I love the way Pearl Jam Live sounds, but hate the way Silverstein records their music.

No matter how I tune Silverstein, their cymbals are drown by the riff of the guitar.

So pick a song with a "good dynamic range".

HotDog posted up a site that gives songs a dynamic range number.

I would use that as a starting point when tuning.

Just do not tune each knob into the + range. It's ok to have few less than the adjacent knob. Sort-of like what he is explaining in the video. It's about balance

and what you are trying to emphasize in your car, and how you hear it- most of all.

starting off

10423800_894904030522967_607039556655404

starting to dial it in

10393932_894920650521305_788196523737094

almost got it

10354996_895049560508414_281142972593824

damn 400 hz giving me problems

10478214_895049370508433_287479233222881

took me an hour to get to this point............... and this is just a good STARTING point i am playing all frequencies from 20hz to 20k hz now that i have all frequencies its time to dial em in

Fuck that must sound nice...flat as Paris Hilton.

Flat doesn't sound nice.

It is just a starting place for getting a correct curve.
