ATC and Loki


Let me start by acknowledging that I don’t know what I’m talking about, which is why I am asking this question.
 I have ATC scm 40s and a Loki in the mail to me. I’m looking to adjust EQ because of an overly bright room and some low level listening.
I’ve heard that some speakers need a boost in certain frequency ranges even in a perfect room. I’ve also heard that Atc‘s have an especially flat response and may not fit that category. Any ideas about how to adjust the loki or how all these elements interact would be welcome.

Ideally you will connect the Loki between your preamps outputs and your power amps inputs. This is fairly simple if you have separates. If you have an integrated, you will need to use the pre outs and ins if your amp has them, otherwise you will have to connect it between the source and amp. After connection you just adjust each knob until you reach your desired sound profile.

The Loki appears to be a very wide band, very low "Q" tone control comprised of four filters, that per the diagram on the units front face plate appear to be shelving style filters. IOW each knob is going to cover a very large range of frequencies.
