does this eq work on a 5 channel surround sound system

The majority of surround units have the decoder your low level signal source and the power amp in one unit and there is no way to insert the equalizer in the system. If you have your channels available as line level signals then you would need at least 3 units on for the rear channels one for the front channels and one for the center channel. After you come out of the equalizer you'll have to have an amp for each channel as well. I'm thinking this is not what you were planning on doing.

It is intended for two-channel stereo and only has left/right I/O. I would keep looking for something intended for five-channel.

its not designed to, but it can be done. its usually used in recording/ music production studios, radio stations, etc.

not really. it would be hard to find the jacks in the back to hook it up,and it would not give you the sound you want for surround sound.

I think all the surround systems should come already with equalizer on the amp.You don't need an eq.You not going to buy 5 eqs. For the 5 channels.We use these eqs.for stage equipment's only.

Like most pro equipment, it will only work if inserted into the audio chain BEFORE the surround processor - it should be before any final amplifier stage. If the processor is integrated, the only way to use it would be if your equipment has an in / out pair that allows you to insert equipment into the chain.

I just set this system up in my living room and I did not have room for all 7 speakers. The manual states to set up the L & R surround speakers and not the back speakers for 5.1 sound. I followed the manual and ran the auto speaker calibration and it sounds great. The surround effect is amazing watching DVDs and cable TV movies.

Don't know I used it for my home surround system I refer you to the manufacture on that one.Good luck on your install though.

If you can get a sound card that replicates the back of a 5.1 surround stereo system, then, yes, you should be able to. You will need speaker wire and a connection for each speaker.

If your TW cable box has an optical output, the optical-optical will solve the problem & let you have 5.1 channel sound if TW's box supports that.

Yeah, it depends on your setup -- you can connect up to a 5.1 surround sound system, it has outputs for two main LR speakers, rear L&R; speakers, center, and a subwoofer.

I would add to the others that it sound neutral when the EQ bypassed. However, the EQ bypass only bypasses the EQ. The gain on each channel is not bypassed.

As the device give a surround sound if you go through set up process properly it will give you a decent sound it is not 5.1 but i prefer this sound bar to % 90 of the 5.1 s on the market

Yes, it will work and hook up easily as long as you have rca outputs on your deck. Google this equalizer and search for the user manual. You can check your connections in the diagram and compare to what you have. My advice is to research Hz so you can adjust your equalizer according to the output of your speaker. It's an excellent buy though.

Short answer ... no. It merely strips what you would normally hear on the Left and Right audio channels and passes the signal through analog RCA cables. But to be fair, I'm not sure than anything really can. By definition, 5.1 and 7.1 are delivered over something greater than two channels. So a simple two-channel L/R signal simply isn't capable of carrying the content. There are devices that take two-channel audio as input and simulate 5.1 output, but this isn't one of them. I have such a whizbang gizmo connected to a 47" display in a small room with just two very good speakers. It's not "real" 5.1, and if you're a real audiophile type, you'll likely recognize it right away and turn up your nose. However, it does work well enough to fool you during an exceptionally well mastered Blu-Ray or a high-end video game. Suited my needs because 2 speakers were a better fit for both the room and my budget. But if you're looking to get full performance out of a 5.1 or 7.1 setup that you already own or are considering purchasing, inserting this device in the chain is probably the wrong way to go about things. You'll need to stick with HDMI throughout to create the best experience.

Turning surround 5.1 to stereo work great. I run my TV audio to my stereo receiver as an option for movies or sports anyway so I didn't notice any difference

It has a switch where you can choose the audio output between 2.0 stereo, 5.1 or passthrough. I use it to feed my DTS receiver and I'm getting 5.1 surround sound through SPDIF, and HDMI feeds my projector. So the answer to your question is Yes.

Yes. You can use the 6th and 7th surround channels to bi-amp the fronts. I haven't done this but I've read that's how you do it. You'll need a couple Y adapters.

The EQ on this amp only works on the headphone (mini phone) jack. If you are using the RCA outputs, you will experience no change in EQ, regardless of how you manipulate the 3 sliders.

yes it should but it wont give you the sound your looking for..... Go with a better EQ!

Here's a possibility: USB Multi-Channel Sound Converter With 5.1 7.1 Surround I haven't tried it yet but there are many positive comments

I'm can't answer that. I installed this because my older 5.1 surround sound system has only analog inputs - one for each speaker. Placing this between the dvd player (coaxial out) and the older 5.1 system did give me surround sound. However, it appears it is no longer working. Straight from China and built to last only so long.
