EP500 and Trim Setting in a Square Room - 09/01/05 09:33 PM
Hoping someone who understands room boundaries/dimensions can chime in here about my current EP500 Settings.
I have owned the EPIC60-EP500 combo for 6 months now and love it!! Recently, I discovered on the EP500 that if I change the setting to "half", I get better bass response in the mid bass regions.
I know logically, that the best setting is FLAT and I am artificially increasing the output above 33 Hz, but I think this may be compensating for a Null in this range based on my room dimensions that are 20x20x10. I always got the very low bass, but this helped w/the mid bass.
My two questions are: Is this the right thing to do based on my "half cube" shaped room? Second question is now that the EP500 amp has boosted those mid-bass frequencies by 3 db, am I forcing it to take away from it's output below 30 hz? Thanks!!
