kito2112 Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 After reading the Large vs. Small thread, I got to playing with my system again. On my Sony, it will let me control the frequencies of the bass,mid and treb for the front,center and rear. Can someone give me some insight as to where I should be setting these? My thinking is; with the mains/center/rear set to small, for the mains I should max the bass/mid/treb frequencies. Cut the bass in the center while picking up as much mid and treble as I can. Rears, max bass/mid and treb. Here's the frequency control I have and where I currently have it set. FRONT- Bass 100Hz-1KHz set at 100 Hz Mid 500Hz-5Khz set at 500 Hz Treb 1KHz-10KHz set at 1K Hz Center- Bass 100Hz-1KHz set at 1K Hz Mid 500Hz-5KHz set at 500Hz Treb 1KHz-10Khz set at 10 KHz Rear- Bass 100-1KHz set at 100Hz Mid 500-5Khz set at 500Hz Treb 1K-10KHz set at 1KHz I played SPR and Don Henley this morning at these setting and it sounded purty good. Am I thinking right on this? Thanks for any inputs. ------------------ Sony555ES KLF30 mains C7 center KSF-S5 rears Def Tech PF15TL+ Sub Mitsu DVD Yamaha CD Mitsu VHS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 kito, that looks like the equalizer/tone controls to me. i believe your es model does have the crossover settings controls for the small speaker settings though. might want to recheck that. ------------------ Klipsch KLF 30 (front), KLF C-7, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub woofer Monsterbass 400 sub interconnect & Monster CX-2 biwire & Z-12 cable Marantz SR-8000 receiver Sony DVP-C650D 5-disk cd/dvd player Sony Trinitron 27" stereo tv Toshiba hi-fi stereo vcr Technics dual cassette deck Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box Boa's Listenin Lounge: Klipsch RF-3 (front), RC-3, cheap little Technics (rear) Monster MCX Biwires Sony STR-DE935 a/v receiver Kenwood KR-9600 AM/FM stereo receiver (vintage 1975) Russound AB-2 receiver switch to RF-3 Teac PD-D1200 5-disk cd changer Technics SL-1950 turntable/AT LS500 cartridge Sega Genesis game player Sub: None yet rock on!

Seb Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 yep, these are the eq settings. they will have no effect if you don't set the eq to on. they have nothing to do with the xover settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kito2112 Posted July 17, 2001 Author Share Posted July 17, 2001 Yes you guys are right, they are the EQ controls. For some reason I htought they were controlling the crossover settings. SO, should I leave the EQ off when listening to DD or DTS? ------------------ Sony555ES KLF30 mains C7 center KSF-S5 rears Def Tech PF15TL+ Sub Mitsu DVD Yamaha CD Mitsu VHS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 kito, that depends on your tastes, room, etc, etc. my marantz only has limited bass & treble controls. never use them & and i have the sony's equalizer set flat (not using). open for experiment though. i'd say if it sounds good now, forget 'em or use sparingly. right after the frequency levels there should also be the control to add/reduce the db at that given freq. point. u find any controls for the channels low bass cut-off points? ------------------ Klipsch KLF 30 (front), KLF C-7, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub woofer Monsterbass 400 sub interconnect & Monster CX-2 biwire & Z-12 cable Marantz SR-8000 receiver Sony DVP-C650D 5-disk cd/dvd player Sony Trinitron 27" stereo tv Toshiba hi-fi stereo vcr Technics dual cassette deck Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box Boa's Listenin Lounge: Klipsch RF-3 (front), RC-3, cheap little Technics (rear) Monster MCX Biwires Sony STR-DE935 a/v receiver Kenwood KR-9600 AM/FM stereo receiver (vintage 1975) Russound AB-2 receiver switch to RF-3 Teac PD-D1200 5-disk cd changer Technics SL-1950 turntable/AT LS500 cartridge Sega Genesis game player Sub: None yet rock on!
