Re: contour EQ
Hey Guys,
So as not to hi-jack the original post...
Has anyone noticed that some engineers are putting a "notch" in the system response around 125Hz?
I've got a couple of theories on this :-
1) this is where the typical lengths of arena arrays are losing pattern control so energy is being projected into the nether-regions
2) It's at these freqs that typical room effects are (also see 1)
3) that they've been listening to poorly setup domestic satellite/subwoofers, where the subs seem/are a seperate thing, and they are trying to emulate that (my favourite) :twisted:
And finally in my travels I've noticed a cultural bias in curves
In the UK/Western Europe sub bass is the trouser-flappy 40Hz stuff
In the US Sub bass is more chest thumpy (80Hz)
That in the Pac rim they seem to want more high end, Japanese, Cantonese and Mandarin languages are ripe in sibilants.
great topic, very interesting
cheers,
