[QUOTE="Phil Graham, post: 35588, member: 430"] Re: Frequency Response/Contour EQ in full range systems. Ruler flat generally makes the PA sound either thin or bright at typical (low) church and peforming arts-level volumes, and I think places a little too much onus on unskilled technical volunteers to make a mix sound full. Strategic variations from flat by only 2dB can greatly improve the subjective fullness and smoothness, in my experience. I fully understand the decision that people make to pursue flat curves. Often times measurements are made quickly in adverse environments, and it is a straightforward goal when you are under the gun. I think the "pinking" of Rock and Roll PAs, like the traces Brandon posted, results from the nonlinearities of human hearing perception which are highlighted by the much higher levels in the full concert environment.
