There is some concern that EQ filters are bad because they cause phase shift and will screw up your crossover alignment. In this video I demonstrate that when magnitude and phase are linked you can improve both at the same time and hopefully even improve your alignment.

I love to geek out about the physics of sound. This channel focuses on the growing opportunity for live sound engineers to improve their confidence and consistency through the understanding of the principles of sound system design and optimization. My goal is to make this channel upfront and honest about my success and failure, so you can learn from both.

I am always open to suggestions and feedback so please comment on this video or contact me through my site.
