Speaker EQ, Full Range or Bass Only (with Poll)

[Newman]

Had the Scots done a little research they'd have realised how spectacularly this banner misses the mark. Russia's (or rather the Soviet Union's) stance would of course have been: Alcoholism AND communism

I'm sure they settled the issue in the streets surrounding the venue, after the game.

So far, the poll is showing that, if you use DRC at all, then Multichannel Bass Range Only is the least common way.

How very interesting, considering what the science is telling us.

That's probably just because the population that uses 2ch is much greater than the population that uses multichannel

I can speak only for myself but I do not use identical (or same family) speakers for my 5.3.4 setup. As such, if I want to have similar tonality from all speakers I don't think equalizing only the bass range would work (I use Dirac DLBC).

I agree with you but I think full range can have it's advantages in just about every setup if done well.
Room influence on speaker tonality is strong and if some slight correction can get things better balanced in
a large multich rig all the better.

I use DSP below 500hz and PEQ above.

iono. i don't use rm eq. i might flip back and forth but listen mostly with zero eq in the chain. rm eq, wiim at least, seems to flatten the top end and does something to cymbals that reduces it's crispness. it also muffles the upper mids.
the eq i do use is for like at night. cutting some bass and adding some highs.

Try either a different DRC system or it's setup.
