equalization

Hey all, After folks listen to some of my headphones they often ask for recs, and I struggle a bit because I don't want to recommend anything that needs equalization. However, it's hard to find headphone reviews on these forums that are recommended w/o equalization. As I have hifimans as my...

So a year ago i stumbled on the thread about Resolve's 5128 FR response equalisation presets . I followed the link and copied the headphone.com settings for my Hifiman Sundara following the preset that resolve came up with, adhering to his newly made target for the 5128 rig. Since then i...

Hello all, my first post here - I've looked everywhere and even asked KEF but no reply. Effectively I struggle with my LSX II eq settings... they sound almost OK with the default profile but I need to integrate subwoofer and tweak treble so need to eq creating a "Normal" or "Expert" profile...

Hi! For contextualization, Waves NX plugins now use the Harman target as the standard target curve to make headphones "flat". It makes little sense, here's why: The Harman target is supposed to emulate how flat speakers sound in a well treated room. So, by applying this equalization to...

Why do these two target curves sound so different from each other? I know it's about the methodology - Sonarworks uses a different dummy head to perform the measurements. They also include how the body perceives bass impact in the calibration, that's why it sounds do different. But wait. Isn't...

Hi! This is just a question - is there any measurement done with the 5128 rig for the Philips SHP9500?

The ears used by the GRAS system are very different than mine and I actually find the harman target kinda harsh and maybe that's because of this difference. But no matter how much EQ I apply, it kinda creates other problems in other frequency ranges and it just becomes an endless spiral it...

I used to be in love with my Earsonic Starks, but recently I have found them lacking. After a quick search I saw how awkward its response graph was courtesy of Crinacle.com If any of you folks are good at creating graphic EQs. Apple Music on MacOS doesn't support PEQ.

Given how capable it is, I imagine CamillaDSP might have quite a wide variety of use cases for quite a lot of people. One not-very-visionary way is to use it as an EQ for non-Windows sources. CamillaGUI interface, albeit quite handy, is not the most easy to use however for the EQ usecase. I was...

Hello ASR, this is my first attempt posting something here, so I'm sorry in advance for mistakes that I could made. English isn't my primary language so I'll try keeping things as clear as possible. I've been in "read-only mode" and recenly realised that I gained more knowledge over this year...

Hello! I recently tried to EQ my IEMs to Crinacle/Headphones.com's 5128 Diffuse Field target using AutoEQ, but the treble region doesn't 100% match and I want it to be 100% matched because that's the point of the 5128 rig. What command line can I use to make Auto EQ 100% follow the compensation...

Hi, I have a couple of questions about how to interpret CEA-2010 results when making a purchasing decision on subwoofers. The budget subwoofer selection in my area is very limited, but I've narrowed my options down to the Jamo C 912 and Polk HTS 10. The plot below shows their CEA-2010 results...

Hello. I bought Samsung EO-IA500, model similar to old Samsung tuned by AKG. Im not sure how similar sound is, but there also type-c variant EO-IC100. I found this graphic with frequency response for EO-IC100 at rtings.com. - https://www.rtings.com/headphones/1-5/graph#14780/7903. I think...

Here's a little experiment to see which HE400se measurement produces the best EQ preset when corrected to Harman OE2018. Note that this headphone has impressively low unit variation, which might make deciding rather difficult, so I'm giving you three votes. The presets can only be used with...

Hello all, I just got set up with a MiniDSP Flex (No DIRAC). I wanted to play with the EQ for my 2.1 system. I played around with REW, averaging from different seated positions, and seeing how EQ changes did or did not affect how the speakers responded in the room. After playing around some...

I have a set of Presonus Eris 3.5 and a Temblor T8 Subwoofer. Mids seems lacking to my hearing. Lpf settings confused me. How should i eq my system, where should i focus my attention ?

Hello everyone - in my first post here, I'd like to thank you all for this forum! My main listening space has a 2.1 setup with an Audyssey XT32 capable AVR. It does a real good job with bass management, and there is the bass-happy smile on my face :) regardless of which volume I'm listening at...

Here at ASR we're pretty EQ-crazy. That's perfectly valid, since EQ is just another link on the chain to make music sound more natural and enjoyable. So what is the best "EQ-ready" headphone? If we consider some notes Oratory1990 has made on this topic (excerpt from this comment), we gain an...

I recently switched to Manjaro after I got sick of windows. The only thing I havent properly figured out is the audio stack. I'm pretty sure Manjaro uses pulseaudio by default. I'm currently using Pulse Effects to eq and it's often clipping and some apps just bypass the eq (i dont mind this but...

Hi, So what I'm trying to do is use the PrimeEQ by Voxengo plugin with SoundSource. I'm struggling with the install of PrimeEQ. The setup guide is confusing. I've attached screenshots of the guide as well as the files provided. Can anybody tell me what file goes where? Thanks
