[QUOTE="Phil Graham, post: 35668, member: 430"] Re: Frequency Response/Contour EQ in full range systems. No worries. You've probably tuned more rooms in these parts than anyone! This is my first room from your affiliated firm that I reinterpreted. I've done substantially more re-work for some of your competitors, trust me... :) I think we will have to agree to disagree on a "flat above 100Hz" tuning. I personally don't like it, and I've not found tuning clients to prefer it. In a hurried pinch, where you can't listen to the PA, its certainly a worthy benchmark to head towards. I'm not tremendously far removed from flat, typically no more than 4dB in strategic places, but I find that small bit can make a big difference. I don't know that there's anything magic about my mental curve. I do extensively try to listen to the result, and make minor tweaks by ear. I also try to solicit input from the client(s), and A/B against the previous settings, if any. Placebo effects are hard to overcome, as you say. Really, though, these are just flavors with plenty of room for art. One thing that you and I do [I]really[/I] differently is mid, low-mid, and low end management in the DSP. I know you guys are always slammed, but we should chat about it at your convenience. P.S. Hopefully IP-addressable, remotely accessible processors will clean up some of the issues with clients' "improvements" to the starting processor settings and reduce those margin-killing service calls.
