| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? Shadorne...A heavily modulated (loud) groove will always affect adjacent grooves, before and after, throughout the LP. It is always audible during the silent (supposedly) first groove of a cut but is masked by the music at other times (but is stil... | |
| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? Shadorne...Pre-echo is a well known fault of LPs, and, to the best of my knowledge, comes about when the master is cut, not when copies are pressed. Mag tape "print through" comes about when reels are stored for a long time (years). I personally h... | |
| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? At 33 rpm the speed of the vinyl passing the stylus as the LP reaches the inner grooves is too slow. This will result in sonic degradation either because of the slowness, or because the recording engineer has manipulated the signal so as to better... | |
| panel speaker help Mrtennis...Your term "timbre of instruments" needs clarification. Different violins have different timbre. What is correct? I would like a speaker that distorts the timbre so that they all sound like Strads! But then, different Strads sound differ... | |
| Have you used a frequency/tone CD w/SPL meter ... Streetdaddy...With the white noise signal playing,just look at the RTA display before you do any equalization. If you have a test disc you could play that instead of the built-in noise signal. You can watch the response gradually become flatter as... | |

| Have you used a frequency/tone CD w/SPL meter ... Kenyonbm...There have been many (too many?) postings about the Behringer DEQ2496. You can also download the complete users manual from the Behringer website, as well as the sales brochure. | |
| Have you used a frequency/tone CD w/SPL meter ... Kenyonbm...Your results are not unusual. And what a lot of work!!! (Get yourself a Behringer DEQ2496). By the way, did you try repeating the meter measurement several times at the same spot? I bet that some of the veriation is simply the measureme... | |
| Have you used a frequency/tone CD w/SPL meter ... Yes, some measurement of frequency response is valuable, but, there is simply no comparison between using a SPL meter with a test disc vs using a spectrum analyser (like a Behringer DEQ2496). The spectrum analyser gives you an immediate indication... | |
| Tube or not to tube? In a nutshell...tubes (like some women) are high maintenance, but tubes have a sound character that some find pleasant. You should find out if you like this sound before investing a huge sum of money. Unles you just enjoy tinkering around with ele... | |
| Walls, ceilings, floors -- neighbors and sound I can't imagine how anyone in an apartment or a condo can enjoy anything except a minimal audio system. That would also apply for all the new houses that I have seen in developments, where there is about 20 feet or less between the houses. I am fo... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496: Ease of Use Warnerwh...I understand your point of view. But consider that if you use the "Feedback Destroyer" to do the cuts the bandwidth can be 1/60 octave, and you wouldn't have to worry about affecting adjacent frequencies.I am using maximum cut around 60... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496: Connection Options Tvad...The Bypass Mode does leave some Behringer circuitry in the signal path. However, if you switch off the power switch of the Behringer it does a "hard bypass" where the input signal goes out untouched. This would be pretty much the same as us... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496: Connection Options Standard balanced interconnects are fine.The TAPE loop would be the appropriate place to put an equalizer, except that the signal level is probably too low for best results. Try it here first and see what happens. The reason to put it between the ... | |
| I know this is heresy, but... Shadorne...Rives audio, who certainly are great believers in room treatments, will tell you that low frequency problems can't be fixed this way. That's why they developed their PARC equalizer. The only really "correct" way to deal with LF room mod... |
