[QUOTE="Brad Weber, post: 41316, member: 114"] Re: How do the attributes of a room affect the EQ? Of course it then also helps to point the speakers in the right direction. I've seen some very nice, controlled directivity speakers aimed so that most of their output hits the walls and ceiling rather than the audience. This perhaps gets into another aspect of how the room or at least the listener area may affect EQ as speakers have patterns that vary with frequency so you may encounter situations where you apply EQ to compensate for some of the variations in off-axis pattern that affects a large portion of the audience. Another aspect may be how much direct stage sound affects what the listeners hear. I like to look at equalizing for gain before feedback and equalizing for the subjective sound quality as two separate but related aspects and the art in spaces with poor acoustics is often in finding the optimal balance of those two aspects.
