the type of music and your audience. Fatten the bass, sweeten
the highs, brighten the mids. Since you are starting from a
“tuned” system, your ear will not be fooled into thinking bass
is too high when actually mids are too low, or that highs are
too weak when really the mids are too strong.
Fact: analyzers don’t have good taste—people do.
Analyzers consistently and accurately
“tell it like it is,” but ultimately,
personal judgment determines what
sounds good or appropriate. In fact,
final optimum EQ settings, made after
analyzer testing, will vary greatly
depending on the type of music, sound
pressure level, size of the venue and
disposition of the audience.
Conclusion: To consistently obtain
the best sound from your system, use
an analyzer and then your ears, in that
order. The analyzer supplies the
consistency and calibration while your
ears supply the good taste.
