Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions DSP vs EQ

I have 2 EP500's and my initial reads using REW confirm a large bump in the 60-70Hz range (+15db!). I think that this bump is causing a "false read" using Denon Audessy because even when I have the subs down to the 6pm position, the receiver still wants to take another 2db off. I just turn the level up on the subs afterwards.

The DSP in the subs can only do so much to adjust for the room. The EQ in the receiver can do a little more, but my receiver only has one adjustable band in the sub range (63Hz). I ordered a Behringer FBQ2496 last week online (new $135 shipped). It should be here this week, so I'll let you all know how a dedicated parametric equalizer helped out my situation. I already ran the REW analysis, and 6 filters in the sub range should get me to the +/- 1.5 db goal from 20-100Hz.
