enem178 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I've search the web for 3 days and I still cant really understand what the "band width" setting actually does on my eq. I read it has something to do with "q" factor but in all reality after reading almost 5 articles multiple times, unfortunately I cant say that I understand it any better. Basically can anybody simply tell me how this adjustment will effect the sound of my music? Im currently in the process of tuning my new system and I have no idea where I should even begin with the width adjustment. On my EQ, each freq band has a width setting that can be adjusted 1-3. Thanks in advance!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigg Boy Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) The Q will adjust how the frequency's around the center freq. are effected. (top one has a lower Q meaning it will effect the freq around the center freq more then the higher Q) If you have any more questions feel free to ask. I am a audio engineer, I think I am qualified to answer these question, or at least I would hope, haha Edited August 23, 2009 by Bigg Boy Quote Dodge Magnum with custom 300c front end, laid out on air bags *4) 12" Cadence Daytona walled *1) AudioQue 20k *270a DC Power Alt (Dual coming soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enem178 Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) 1st thanks for the quick reply!!! Ok so say im adjusting the low band of my eq, I set the freq at 50k and the gain at 2. the center freq is 50k right??? If thats the case if I set the band width to say 3 it will effect the freq around 50k?? Now if I set the band width to say 1, which freq are effected now? Also how are the freq's effected, does it add the dialed in gain to the freq's effected?? Sorry for all the questions, I appreciate the help!!

Bigg Boy Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 yea 50hz would be the center freq. If you set the Q to 1 it will effect more the the surrounding freq... a Q of 3 will have a sharper "spike" What eq are you running?

Bigg Boy Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 ah yea the higher the Q the "sharper" the range of freq that you are boosting/attenuating will be Quote Dodge Magnum with custom 300c front end, laid out on air bags *4) 12" Cadence Daytona walled *1) AudioQue 20k *270a DC Power Alt (Dual coming soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
