Should I Eq My Studio Monitors

This TRS cable is perfect for my Radio transmission uses. I use these to feed the EQ to the Mixer and also use these to feed my studio monitors. Great cables, no interference.

I have been using a pair of Tannoy Reveal monitors in my home studio for the last 20+ years, but to get decent frequency response I needed to use a 15 band graphic EQ and a Rane frequency analyzer... comes with a reference mic and a pink noise generator -- you try to adjust the EQ while watching the LEDs bounce up and down and adjust each band until the frequency response looks flat. I always had to tweak the EQ setting (maybe defeating the purpose) to make them sound more natural. Then I decided to upgrade my monitors. I went to the B&H store in NYC and listened to half a dozen, including Genelec, Yamaha, and others. I finally bought the Focal Alpha 65 EVO, which sounded the richest and yet were half the price of the Genelec 5. Bringing them home, they sounded much better with no EQ than the Reveals did with no EQ, but not as good as the EQ'd Reveals. I wanted to make sure I wasn't coloring the sound. So I bought the Sonarworks Reference 4 item. Well, it worked great. It comes with a very sturdy-looking reference mic. It was fairly easy to set up, it acquired sound points from about 36 spots in my listening area, and it took me about an hour to create a detailed frequency response curve. It has an application (and a plug in) that automatically corrects your computer's monitor sound output to flatten the speaker response. It seems to work great! The Focal monitors were fairly flat except for a peak at around 150 Hz, which the Sonarworks flattened, without having to resort to a graphic EQ. Unfortunately there's quite a bit of falloff below 100 Hz that I can measured, so beware... you will need a subwoofer with these monitors if you want to mix music. However, for general audio projects they would be a great addition to any studio.

Great for studio use! Should have ordered a second one!

Should have bought this a long time ago. Two are not enough. (My wife stole one for her sewing studio)

Fantastic for the studio monitors.

My college's Photo Studio used EIZO monitors, so I've know about EIZO for around a decade now. Now that I am getting back into my photography I knew I wanted to get a similar brand or model to the EIZO monitors I used in college. After a year of doing some research I landed on getting the EIZO ColorEdge CS2740 26.9 and it has not disappointed. I love my new monitor and it's been great to use for my photography work and some design work.

Superb both on stage and in the studio. Clear, crisp, takes EQ like a champ.

Super solid piece of eq. We use these for overhead scrims and to mount monitors for our capture station.

These have great sound and are plenty loud. I used these as stage monitors and they were perfect. There is no EQ on them, and the sound is a little bass-heavy, but generally okay. For the price, these are a perfect stage monitor for a choir

I like the way these studio monitors sound. I purchased several pairs.
