I'm trying to understand eq more. Normally I'm seeing a good balance between boosting and cutting in the oratory eq's. WIth this headphone however there's a lot more boosting going on in his eq. Why didn't he just "draw the line" higher up by cutting more and boosting less? Is it because this was the most accurate way we could adjust it to preference in an eq that's limited to 10 bands? I gotta say these sound great even with all that boosting in the bass and high amount of preamp cutting, so I'm not complaining. But is there any kind of rule to know when we should boost something instead of cutting other things to make the thing we wanted to boost come more forward? Is boosting the bass by 9,5db going to cause any problems even with preamp setting on? If not, why are we not JUST cutting whatever frequencies that is too high or just boosting whatever is too low, why does most of the harman eq's usually do a mix of cutting and boosting? My guess is that it's mostly because the eq profiles are trying to hit an exact curve as well as possible by using 10 bands only?
I know it's a lot of question but they dont really need an individual answer for each of them.. I just want to know what to be aware of when trying to do some tweaks to the eq myself.
