dbx 1231 EQ acquired

[♔Chello]

TEST SUCCESSFUL

With all filters deactivated, the sound was terrible.

When I activated all filters, the sound was still terrible, with an opulent, resonant bass.

Before the test, I had read a technical test of the dbx, and it stated that the bass range was prone to phase reversal, which is unusual.

When I reversed the phase on the power amplifiers, the bass became normal again, and when I adjusted all frequencies from 20Hz to 80Hz up by +15dB and all above 80Hz down by -15dB, the sound was better than ever.


A correctly set up subwoofer should only say something in the lowest frequency range, and mine is like this - I can play regular music that does not have sub-bass without the sound image being colored, but when there is sub-bass, it is heard very clearly.

It is absolutely impossible to tell where it is located - the bass is felt everywhere, and extremely low frequencies below 20Hz are definitely present - you feel the pressure waves against your body like a physical blow.

Also, I hear details in the sub-range of music I know very well that I have never heard before.

So I am very happy with the result, and can move the dbx from the table to the rack under the keyboards.
