Re: Do I need room EQ?


Finally got my PB12+ piano finish!

Holy cow what a big sub! They weren't kidding about the weight either. Almost hurt my back with this thing barely being able to get it out of the box singlehandedly. I was quite easy to scoot around the floor luckily and I tried 3 corners + middle next to coach. Best position was just beside the sofa left of the listening position. I tried using fase control etc, however didn't get any noticeble results. I tried differen crossovers and they changed little as well.

Here's the sub alone at 150 hz crossover and no EQ. I turned out that the initial corner where the CHT 10 was delivered next to nothing below 28 hz!! go figure!

Here's the sub with 80 hz crossover and EQ:


Here's the sub + mains with EQ 80 hz crossover:

It's been more difficult to EQ the PB12+. I will work alot more on it though. I need more training using the EQ filters. I need to use less and be more effective with them.

Sound experiences(very initial observations):

* Movies
Well, my couch is shaking a whole lot more hehe - the CHT-10 wasn't a subwoofer that's my first response!

* Music
Blends extremely well with the mains. Calls no attention, appears fast and delivers what I should and no more.

I need to watch some full movies and alot more music and tweak a whole lot more before I can give any sorta of final conclusion.

For now I'm satisfied it's definately an upgrade from the CHT-10 without a doubt.
