out positive affect. You may be able to see if a lifted band is a mode by manually adjusting
a lifted EQ band - if no change in the EQ is perceived, you probably are seeing a mode in
your
frequency response. To reduce the effect of this mode, try different microphone positions
and adjust the location of your speakers, then repink the room for a more effectual Graphic
EQ adjustment.
Adjust Cross Over Output Gains
If your system setup or the response you have chosen results in the Auto-EQ lifting or cut-
ting a number of consecutive bands of the Graphic EQ, you can adjust the level of the asso-
ciated cross over output gain to match the average boost or cut in the graphic EQ and re-
pink your room. This time, the adjustment of the Graphic EQ bands will be less “heavy hand-
ed” and the
system will sound better having fewer phase problems and a lower noise floor than a more
aggressively adjusted Graphic EQ. With the rest of your system properly adjusted, the Auto
EQ can compensate for room resonance and adjust to suit personal taste without large excur-
sions in the Graphic EQ bands.
