Re: SUB PLOT - Would you add the filters?


Just my opinion, based on many hundereds of graphs using many different subs in many different locations...

It makes little sense to EQ a response without the satellites being included in the sweep. If you EQ the sub only, you may be making the end result worse when the sats are turned on.

Using a standard 80Hz crossover point, the mains can have effect down into the 30Hz range. You should always follow the standard regimen before post EQ (with sats on):

1. Absolute phase.
2. Location.
3. Volume leveling of sats to sub(s).
4. Relative phase (or, delay settings).
5. Final volume leveling.
6. Post EQ.

IOW, the graph shown makes it impossible to suggest whether or not post EQ should be applied, and where to apply it, if at all, IMO.
