Welcome to the day and age of "ultimate configurability"...There are some receivers, though not the 1020, that you can listen while adjusting(Pioneer doesn't include that till you buy an Elite). Once receivers went from an EQ that controlled all, to controlling each individually...you gain ability, but lost "easy".You shouldn't, really, be messing with the EQ, unless you have one of these...Scosche SPL1000F 135DB Max Spl Meter (not necessarily this one...)And some form is sine wave sweep(you can find one online) Welcome to the day and age of "ultimate configurability"...There are some receivers, though not the 1020, that you can listen while adjusting(Pioneer doesn't include that till you buy an Elite).

You can adjust the treble from the audio button. Scroll through until you see treble, then adjust it from there!

Thanks. I was afraid of that. Sine wave sweep? Spl meter? I just want to turn down the treble a bit.

Yes, but no. You can adjust both volume and fx controls for each channel, but the eq controls are universal. All in all this has been a great purchase. It gets loud and sounds fantastic!

I don't really know. What I can say is that the DBX eq is excellent. Setting the eq to +6db across the spectrum and then equalizing the volumes produced no audible difference in the sound between the the eq in and out of the circuit. The noise level is also inaudible. I highly recommend it and would buy it all over again knowing what i know now. Good luick on your purchase. HEHJr

At 600ohm The ZxR has 5.4v (rms) the ZxR line outs have 2V RMS for maximum range. I could get more info if you need. This is some info I've found, might give you an idea. I will be feeding the analog line outs into the Emotiva UPA-700 amplifier. As I understand it, the ZxR line outs have 2V RMS for maximum range. The UPA-700 has 870 mV RMS for maximum volume. I don't want to either overdrive the amplifier or blow my ears out by accidently using maximum volume. Can I use the Speaker Level settings to change the maximum line out voltage? Setting each of the speakers (except the subwoofer which is separate) to -7.3db should do the trick. If that is correct, then 100% volume would match 100% speaker volume. This would be, of course, independent of minor tweaks for room adjustment or of equalization. Am on the right page here or do I need to add a preamp into the picture? -I would imagine that should do the trick, if you wanted you could try putting some resisters in the connections to dampen the output, though I'm not incredibly sure what impedance you would need and what effect it may have on the frequency response, you would want some high quality ones... in my case I just have my computer volume set to 50% and adjust volume via my amp, I know why you need yours the other way round but the concept is pretty much the same, I wouldn't expect you would need the full 0-100% range so I don't think you could ever have it set too high for a long enough amount of time to damage the pre-amps in your UPA-700, just set the amp to a high enough value that you can get a good range in your pc volume while not too high that you pick up interference or loose the ability to go really quiet, and there's usually a point in any sound card that they loose quality after a certain volume (hitting the DAC's clip if you will).

Nice name... similar to mine. Try a few things 1) ensure plugs are in all the way from audio interface to speakers and vice versa. 2)You can try seeing if changing the chords would work. Like using a different brand or get gold tip 1/4 inch. 3) If the problem is with in a DAW like logic or Ableton, etc, try changing the buffer size to something lower like 256 or so. 4) try getting a really good audio interface. 5) If none works, which mean you're maybe talking about the natural hissing noise most "powered" monitors would give off. Some are louder that others. I just upgraded to the HS8 and I still hear some but when the music plays don't hear anything. Nice name... similar to mine.

Rich, it is also going to depend on whether you have EQ control on your mixer. If you do and you are using the high pass filter, you are in a lot better position because you can cut back or extend your bass with your EQ knob. Sub is not as affected when your crowd shows up because the lower frequencies pass right through the people for the most part. I set EQ bass at middle and then put sub's volume where it sounds great for the space. Then I can use EQ to subtract bass in the early evening and ramp it up as the older guests (who are the most sensitive to bass) leave the party and the younger crowd really wants to jump. If no EQ on your mixer I would place the sub in a location where you can manually adjust volume as the evening progresses. -Nicholas (aka DJ Chester Chomp) AnchorageDJs.com

You can use a preamp to feed analog to the miniX. My only concern is having 2 volume knobs. You'll have to do a balancing since you'll be changing the input levels as well as having an integrated volume knob on the Emotiva. If you have a PC based system you can manipulate the equalizer to add additional bass...etc. Perhaps something else in your "chain" lacks such as your speakers or even small gauge speaker wires. Using inexpensive interconnects (monster, energy) may also hinder sound quality. Going to blue jeans cable, take 5 audio have diy or prebuilt options much superior to many consumer grade store bought options. You can use a preamp to feed analog to the miniX.

I love mine just the way it is- You can adjust the bass the way you want it, and Iquestion adding more. Thanks Good Luck!! you'll love the unit!!

I have not notice increase or need of adjustment during change from dialog or sound effects or musical score. I have my speaker using optical line not wires so I don't if that would make a difference, also it does have a 3 band equalizer which I have adjusted to my preference.

Oh yes it will improve your Bass, you can adjust it to different levels, Mid bass, Hi's Lo's, fade (for speakers) and Volume on the EQ. So you don't have to turn the Volume on the Amp. It's a great unit at an affordable price. I love mine, I bet you will to.

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.

Is there the option to adjust the EQ manually? YES. It can be found under SETTINGS &gt; MUSIC OPTIONS &gt; MUSIC EQ &gt; CUSTOM Can I adjust each band of the EQ individually? YES. There is a 5 band EQ. That is why I love this thing.

I use the behringers for gigs. I run a mic cable from the behringer mixer to the speakers. Normally I run a line out of the speaker to another behringer speaker for a monitor. Run a power cable to power strip. Turn on the mixer then turn on speaker. Depending on which size speaker I use I may adjust lows, mids and highs. I rarely adjust volume. I normally have volume set midway and adjust volume from mixer. It's a real easy set up. Line in and power and turn it on. You can tweak things but usually I don't need to.

The "eq" is for your entire sound system. Since FM is a part of it. The answer is yes. Is that what you meant? You can equalize it for recording too, but I've never done it. I listen to everything through the "tape monitor mode", the recommended method of hook-up. It works beautifully, unlike the HP 100-210 computer I bought last week.

The result is definitely different than an EQ. The bass channel is more like an overdrive that doesn't clip (hard to describe it's not distortion) and the high-end is this subtle octave harmonizer. I was very impressed with the inprovement on early 90's gangsta rap that sounds muddy. We use it for our live electronic band to make our sound less muddy and it's really be a big help. I'm not sure it would make a different on the latest music releases though.

EQ can help with room acoustics and non-linear speakers. Since it affects ALL notes and voices of a keyboard, it is not a good voicing method. Suggest you shop for a keyboard that you like.

On the base just above the speaker you press the button with the number 1 on it and it will bring up all the settings you are looking for. Then use the number 2 button and the arrow keys to make adjustments. Hope this helps.
