Equalizers (EQ) are great tools for fine tuning those little frequencies that is missing in your system.
EQs cannot be applied to solve foundation problems. In fact the more EQ is being used the worst off the system can be tonally.
Our goal is to naturally EQ the system using as much as possible, cable, power management and associated equipment etc., while maintaining an external EQ to fill in the minor missing gaps.
EQs must be flexible, less digital inclined and should not alter the tonal palette drastically.
It should be analog sounding where possible and have a good solid power supply section. EQs can help restore some voltage drop by enhancing back the signal before it is fed to the amplifiers or next chain of equipment.
That is all EQs should do. It is not a magical wand to cure system problem. It is an aid and not a cure.
Without EQs, a system can sound lonely, a tad dry and subdued (depending on systems). EQs enhances the presence, brings back hat little that is missing without overdose.
At Audio Creations (AC), we use Audio Control (AC) not because it is synonymous with AC but due to it’s long standing solidity and quality. We are experts with AC units and we know how to identify which units are better than others and what joys it can bring you, and what it cannot do.
We highly recommend modifications for EQs and crossovers (primarily AC units) by means capacitor upgrades and high-end modules. They make significant tonal benefits and improve the grip and control in the music material. We offer these mods, for both new and used alike.
Know the boundaries of what an EQ can do, and it can be a useful tool to bring you a step up in your car audio system.
Enjoy tuning….
