How to Calculate Parametric Filters (PEQ) For Better Bass

  • This is a quick video on how to design your PEQ (Parametric EQ) filters to achieve better bass in your system. Yamaha has a 7 band PEQ filter scheme per channel, including the subwoofer. Once you identify the frequency you want to apply correction, you simply select that frequency (Fc) and calculate the Q with the following formula: (Q = Fc/BW where BW = f2-f1). For example if the center frequency is 25 Hz and the problem frequencies are between 20Hz and 30Hz, then you would select 25Hz for the frequency and a Q of 2.5. Then apply the amount of cut (- dB) you need to flatten the bass bump you measured in your system at the listening position. This is a teaser, if you guys want a more thorough explanation with examples, get those views up and give me some comments.

    I would like to see Gene do an REW hook up video with the mic. Start from downloading the program to hooking up the mic and taking a first reading. Show everyone how easy or hard it is. Nothing like seeing it done to figure out if I can do it and if it is worth if for my situation. I'm using "my situation" actually meaning everyone who is wondering if it would be useful to them.

    Short and sweet, I was kind of on the right track working through it myself, thanks Gene, I own a Yamaha RX-A3070, my first avr like it and it's capabilities, I've not done much with PEQ, being new to it, I now understand it better and have some more work to do, a final fine tuning.

      You measure in REW using a USB mic, use the formula as described to determine the filter needed as in REW you’ll see your peaks and dips. Apply and re-measure for verification

It's really strange to spend to many ressources on reducing rig vibrations but not being able to output clean pre amp signal :(

    Hey Gene quick question. For DSU upmixer leaving center spread on for 2 channel is awesome. However, should I turn off center spread when I am playing 5.1 or 7.1 content? Thoughts as I don't know the idea of center spread and I want to know what you think since having to go to the receiver menu continuously is not fun. Thanks!

    • @Audioholics
      @Audioholics  2 роки тому +1

      Yes center spread on for 2ch music, turn it off for 2ch TV or movies. Center spread doesn't matter for 5.1 source or above.
