Serious Sound Quality System Using Summing Functions

Equalization Adjustment

When it comes to music, everyone has his or her own particular taste. Some
people want pounding bass and crisp, blood curdling highs. Others may prefer a
"flat" response (whatever the heck that is). At the end of the day, most people just
want their system to sound balanced and "just like it did in the store" or similar to
their buddy's car. The following equalization guidelines should help you achieve
your own personal audio nirvana.
1. For optimum performance, get your hands on a test compact disc that con-
tains pink noise and a good quality RTA (real time analyzer); we happen to know
someone who makes a really good one. If you cannot locate an RTA, you probably
want to have your authorized AudioControl dealer perform the equalization adjust-
ments as they will have one. You can certainly adjust your LCQ-1 using your ears,
however an RTA will give you the best results.
2. Begin playing pink noise through your system and place the microphone for
your analyzer on a microphone stand in the drivers seat. Take a careful look at the
"curve" on your analyzer and how one frequency combines with the next.
There is no one curve that will satisfy every person, as we all have different
tastes. How else can you explain Liberace or rice cakes? The key is to use your
LCQ-1 to help balance your system from one frequency to the next and give your
speakers the sparkle, sizzle, detail or punch that the acoustics of the car have com-
promised.
3. You will want to start equalizing by removing or cutting any large bumps,
peaks, or areas with too much energy at a particular frequency. Next, boost the
ranges that do not have enough energy. We strongly recommend that you cut or
decrease energy before you boost.
4. Although the plethora of knobs on your LCQ-1 can be intimidating, fear not as
they were designed to give enough control to maximize your systems performance
but not enough to get you in trouble. Here is an explanation of the key areas you
should focus on:
