R /EQ-150 Room Equ alizer
Congratulations on your purchase of this precision audio component and thank you for choosing
Parasound. We are sure that you will find the R/EQ-150 to be a very useful problem solving tool. Even
if you have used an equalizer before, please take time to review this manual to take complete advantage
of the R/EQ-150’s unique capabilities.
Product Overview
Loudspeakers interact with every room differently. Often room acoustics are challenging and
compromises in speaker size and placement have to be made for aesthetic reasons. Consequently, the
quality of sound may not be as good as intended. Your Parasound R/EQ-150 permits you to subtly
adjust the frequency response characteristics in these situations and improve overall sound quality.
The Parasound R/EQ-150 has one-half octave width ± 8 dB boost and cut controls centered at 40 Hz,
80 Hz, 120 Hz, 2.5 kHz and 6 kHz. These frequency ranges were carefully selected so that you can
easily make precise improvements in frequency response curves in difficult installations while
minimizing potential adverse effects should the controls become accidentally misadjusted.
