Equalization Optimization
When it comes to music, everyone has his or her own particular taste.
Some people want pounding bass and crisp, blood curdling highs. Oth-
ers 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 follow-
ing equalization guidelines should help you achieve your own personal
audio nirvana and if you are looking for more detailed information on
setting equalizers and small space acoustics please visit the support

1. For optimum performance, get
your hands on a good quality RTA
(real time analyzer); we happen
to make a really good one: the
SA-4140. If you cannot locate an
RTA, you probably want to have
your authorized AudioControl
dealer perform the equalization
adjustments, since they will have
one. You can certainly adjust your
DQDX using your ears, however,
using an RTA will give you the
best results.
2. Begin playing pink noise through your system by pressing and
holding the ACR-3 remote button down for 4 seconds. Place
the microphone for your analyzer on a microphone stand in the
drivers seat and adjust the height so it is where the drivers head
would be while sitting. 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. The key is to use your DQDX to help balance your
