Here I was thinking 1K was inviolate, in spite of the fact that it is centered at the most important octave. TY.Would it make more sense to show those values as absolute values instead of relative to 1K for readability? Here's how my Loki Mini looks if i do that:

Admittedly, i should have aimed for 100dB as my baseline.
What do these bands look like with only 1 or 2db of boost/attenuation instead of turning them to max? It obviously looks incredibly broad when you're boosting one end by 12db. I can't imagine anybody is going to like the sound of their system turning any of these knobs to their extremes.Would it make more sense to show those values as absolute values instead of relative to 1K for readability?

1. have you an example of such software?Or even better value with some open source convolution software?

But Broad is much more subtle than narrow. The 4 bands has to cover the whole spectrum as a general tone control.What do these bands look like with only 1 or 2db of boost/attenuation instead of turning them to max?

It does +/- 12 dB in bass and treble region and +/- 6 dB in the middle bands. Post #17 is displaying it correctly.Um, am I crazy or are we looking at an EQ that only does (at most) +/- 3dB? Coming from the DSP / VST / ITB mixing/production world, (or hell, just using EQAPO) this seems like a joke.
Ah OK thanks, that's much more reasonable.It does +/- 12 dB in bass and treble region and +/- 6 dB in the middle bands. Post #17 is displaying it correctly.

have you checked the used market? Some ten band eqs there for not much, but I'm in the US.Damn, so still no solid offering in the compact hardware EQ niche I was considering the JDS Subjective3, but that device also has a problem with high distortion in the bypass mode. What's even more annoying is that JDS have a fix for that, but they would only retrofit it on request if you purchase directly from the US. That's a no-go for me as shipping to my location is like 70% of the price of the unit itself (see thread).
Looking at the graph at Post #17 and having someone refer back to it was helpful. The review showed the charts relative to 0dB at 1kHz. Since the middle bands are relatively close to 1kHz, it makes it look like the positive adjustment only raises it by a tiny bit while moving everything else down. But in fact the adjustment raises the respective band.I'm confused about the actual function of the middle two eq bands. Are they broken or do I not understand how they are supposed to work? This seems like a thing that has one job and it's only doing it half way. The bass and treble eq clearly work as expected but the other two bands don't seem to actually move the middle frequencies, rather than counteract the high and low eq frequencies. Someone please help me understand if this is acting properly and I just don't understand or if it's broken?
True it is much more subtle, but these bleed into each other too much at their extreme ends. I'd like to see what the graphs look like with +/-2db instead of +/-6 or 12.But Broad is much more subtle than narrow. The 4 bands has to cover the whole spectrum as a general tone control.
Schiit states that it's a simple LC Bandpass which don't have constant Q. The slope will be even softer as you decrease it's gain. So relatively speaking, even "broader" I personally don't think a Higher order filter would work well considering there is only 4 bands to cover the spectrum and those are fixed, You want to raise a region, not a specific frequency, Again, It's tone control, not frequency response correction, you can't emphasize to much a narrow region It will be weird. It is how it is, purely analog, To fix specific problems you need parametric or many more bands.True it is much more subtle, but these bleed into each other too much at their extreme ends.
