" There is very little content in music up at 12 KHz, My hearing starts rolling off at about 4KHz and is non-existent at about 14 KHz. Equalizers are not made to act as bass and treble controls. in 90 % of the installations you'll rub across setting the 60 to boost and the 250 to cut will make the bass sound better. Not sure why but many rooms seem to vibrate around 200 Hz or so. Maybe it's the distance between wall studs at the drywall or something. Putting speakers in corners exacerbates the problem. A treble control on an amp might be too "squaky" and a cut on the 2,500 or 3,500 Hz control might help and not obscure that sweet timbre as much. With a 10 band you can do even more. I can make some elchepo "Ohifio" (an event where they dumped a bunch of kunk nearly as cheap as it was worth) and make them sound almost like good Infinitys. (really fucking good speakers) One kinda cool thing came out of EQ, certain models of TV sets. With the use of throat mics, body mics and whatever, the frequency responses is FUBAR. So TCE (RCA and GE) took the midrange and via crossovers inverted the phas of the midrange. The goldenrod or whatever on it said people found the speech to be more intelligible that way. The overall response was largely flat except for the null points, the -3 dB or whatever and they were at about 400 and 3,000 Hz, in that ballpark. Probably a good idea too, I have tried to equalize some of the TV shows and it still sounds like "wok wok wook wok erk". i am talking 2 ten bands with ranges of +/- 10 dB and 12 db. What is 22 dB, about a factor of 100 or so ? Still didn't do it, those "resonances" are there no matter what and they completely obfuscate the overtones necessary to intelligibility. And it is NOT ME. If it was then how come I can hear just fine on old episodes of Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Star Trek ? As far as I am concerned, the pursuit of flat response is over. I want it to sound how I like it, I care not what the recording engineer wanted. And I can state what i want. if I have flat response to start with I want that bottom octave boosted heavily, 30 Hz and such. Then the top octave, give me that timbre, in fact I am having a hard time finding good enough tweeters to overcome my hearing loss. I have actually heard my amp collide with its slew rate. |

And I can state what i want. I suspect some future popular distribution format will be multitrack so the end user can change the balance of the instruments to their liking. |

They did some research and put it down to the fact that the actors in days gone by had much better diction than today's upstarts. Possibly as a result of paying their dues in theatres. I find it especially noticeable in English films so perhaps you'd notice it most in American movies? > I have actually heard my amp collide with its slew rate.

A lot of user audio devices are just terrible quality. With tiny speakers they use lots of bass boost & resonance, and the result is often a muddy mess. NT |

" That may be but I think it is mostly the mics' frequency response. They had throat mics that I am sure needed a tom on equalization, now what, they are wireless and clipped to the belt ? >"> I have actually heard my amp collide with its slew rate. You have something decidedly out of whack somewhere! " Yup, turned up loud with about 17 dB of boost at about 10 KHz and up, and material with heavy high frequency content. |
| Peabody <waybackNO584SPAM44@yahoo.com>: Aug 12 11:04PM -0500 I have a Sharp dumb TV, model LC-32LB150U. I'm looking at cutting the cord, and need to figure out what local channels I can get. With an indoor antenna, I've found that the antenna pointing direction makes a big difference in which channels show up on auto-scan, so I'm unable to get all the potentially receivable channels in the channel list at one time. The TV's menu offers no option to add channels manually. I can delete channels, but not add them. So I wondered if there's a service mode or menu, and if so, how do I get to it, and is it likely to allow me to add channels manually? If that doesn't work, can anyone suggest how to solve this problem? I was thinking an antenna rotator would solve the actual reception problem, but all the channels have to be in the auto-detect list somehow. I would rather avoid two antennas, although that might work temporarily to get the list right. |

Silly omission of Sharp. I don't think I've seen sets here (UK) with manual digital tuning missing. > all the channels have to be in the auto-detect list somehow.

Or switch between the two, using a antenna splitter to supply both. -- Adrian C |
