Parametric and Graphic EQ
Parametric and Graphic
Equalization
The graphic equalization controls in The
RS 500 are selected to correspond with
the characteristics of wall and ceiling
speakers, and as such are very effective.
Graphic controls are the easiest to tune
and provide a “graphic” representation
of what the adjustments are. Para-
metric equalization requires selecting
the frequency, the bandwidth of the
control, as well as the level of adjust-
ment, not an easy task to get correct.
In general, parametric equalization is
valuable for very large areas of change
or very narrow areas.
Parametric equalization in The RS 500
is most likely best used for taming very
narrow peaks. Do not use for very nar-
row dips as these dips are likely caused
by cancellations and will not respond to
equalization boost.
