Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you've meticulously calibrated the system, only to realize that you want to go back and make further adjustments? Perhaps you're dissatisfied with the excess low-mid buildup between the arrays and the room, and you're contemplating applying a low shelf to address the issue. But here's the burning question: Will implementing such EQ adjustments exclusively on the main arrays break your painstakingly achieved crossover alignment? Aren't you supposed to keep everything locked in place once the alignment is complete?

In this video, we delve into the realm of EQ filters and their impact on subwoofer crossover alignment. Is it a delicate balance or is there some flexibility that will still preserve the integrity of the relationship.

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.
