maxse Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Guys there doesnt seem to be a quick way to add or remove base on this thing right? I have to use the equilizer? I think that is so annoying I hope there is a way I can quickly adjust the bass or treble etc... If not, how exactly does the eq. work? I thought by selecting the frequency I can adjust it individually. But as I switch in the LOW from 80 to less it changes when I go back to 80. Its really weird. Could someone please explain this to me? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImolaVirus Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 I don't fully understand your question. No, there is no 'easy' way to get to the EQ. There are 2 custom settings which only require you to toggle back and forth between them, if you don't like their pre-programmed settings. As for adjusting the freq's: there's a nifty little feature on the Pioneer EQs that's called Q. The freq that you're trying to adjust (in this case, 80HZ) is the center frequency. Q is defined as a range of freqs adjusted that is a function of the center freq, generally labeled in pro audio gear from .5 to 1.5. ie: The range of freqs adjusted is multiplied by the Q setting; from 1/2 the center freq to 1.5 times the center freq. Pioneer does label it a little bit strangely (1narrow, 1 wide, etc.) but I think that's to relieve confusion to the average consumer. What all this means to you, is that when you adjust 80 HZ, the Q will adjust other freqs, above and below 80HZ to smooth out the EQ curve, and you can decide with the Q how wide of a range of freqs you adjust- whether you going to pin-point 80HZ (narrow), or adjust a nice curve of freqs (wide).

maxse Posted June 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I see... That explains why if I play around with the 80 freq. then click on 40 the ound changes right away. I though ttha tI can adjust each one individually... In terms of my original question is if there i a control for bas treble and mid. Like lets say one sing I want to add some bass, tkae away treble, next song take some bass away etc... Can I do this witout going to the sophisticated eq? Also if I adjust frequency around the 40hz right (LOW) then go to 80 hz. Why doe the sound change right away. Seems like my adjustments I did in the 40hz curve are gone when I go to 80? Im a little confused by this. ITs like whenever I adjust a freq to my liking and move on to the next freq, the sound changes when I merely select the a different frequency but before I actually make any changes in that frequency. Why doe this occur? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
klm42 Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I had to play around with the EQ for well over an hour before I got it sounding to my liking. I'm sure it could still use a little additional tweaking, but right now it's sounding pretty good. I wish they would've allowed you to adjust each band individually, however.
