Hi everyone and happy holidays!
I know people ask the question and there is some debate back and forth about EQ'ing/room correction over 500 Hz. From everything I have read (which likely isn't even scratching the surface), it seems like more people believe we shouldn't EQ above 500 Hz. Okay... fair enough. But, here is where the conundrum or head-scratcher comes into play. We all come to ASR for Amir's reviews and everyone here pretty much loves Erin's reviews. I often see them reference applying correction to a speaker above 500 Hz to rectify a given problem.
So, those corrections are above 500 Hz. That is the heart of my question. Do Amir and Erin believe in applying correction above 500 Hz? Or do they only believe in correcting the "anechoic measurement"? Either way, you are still correcting above 500 Hz in the room. What if your room interaction with the "problem area" self-corrected it? If the room enhances the problem, would the correction make it better or worse? Again, this is now above my pay grade, so if anyone replies to this with university-level math, it will go over my head. But, it still raises my eyebrow whenever I see one of Erin's reviews or read where Amir suggests the correction.
Thoughts? Thanks!
