Re: Frequency Response/Contour EQ in full range systems.Yeah, 6db. Probably because the BE used the input strip EQ to make the sounds, not the PA system.It's an odd thing, voicing a PA. Some guys want to play their favorite tracks flat and hear/feel what they want their show to be. This approach requires minimal strip EQ but frequently results in a lot of GraphiHacking® to get the mids and HF to play nice with the vox (esp GBF). Others want a reasonably "linear" PA, where what comes out of the console is what comes out of the loudspeakers. This approach tends to require less house EQ intervention and is appealing to BEs that have studio chops; it also requires that the BE have a solid grip on his/her bands input sounds and be able EQ/process accordingly.As the system guy, my job is to make the PA work the way the headliner's BE wants it to work. I've done lots of different things over the 30 years I've been in audio and very little surprises me any more.Have fun, good luck.Tim Mc
