Re: Frequency Response/Contour EQ  in full range systems.




Hey Ferrit,


linearizing means measuring FR ?

now I think Frequency Response is not enough to descibe the sound of a system, neither outdoors ( less reflections ) nor indoors


some talk about linear and non linear distortion to describe the shortcomings of FR, power response was already mentioned ( indoors it will influence, what

FR we get displayed on the screen and outdoors it may influence stereo width )


so at a certain point listening to the system comes into play, is this putting a personal "flavour" on the system or is this evaluating more data with a more apropriate "windowing" than with measuring ?


And what is used to listen to the system, CD, vocal mike ?

Do we make the CD sound good or do we make the CD sound like we`ve learned by experience will help us mixing the band ( Mastering EQ )


There are different aproaches, mixing stiles and without constant cross reference like headphones, analysers ( the averaging kind on the solo bus ), and of course linearized systems the different stages of EQ might be really difficult to discern.


In short neutral is not so easy :)~:-)~:smile:
