Speaker tuning with the 7 Band EQ
In this LONG overdue episode of "CV Shortcuts", we finally dive into sound! Our little speakers do an amazing job of producing some of the most challenging audio you could record! Locomotives produce just about every sound there is, from high pitch air valves, through to thumping Bass… and we wan't all that out of a tiny speaker??
Now while the boffins have given us amazing sound files, the mini speakers that seem to do the impossible still need some help to get the most from them! Tsunami's 7 Band EQ , will let you "Tune" your hard working little speakers, so you can match the frequencies to the speaker and it's enclosure, resulting in a more realistic sound!
Please note… The sound was initially recored on a pro digital recorder to demonstrate the difference… but the level was too low , so the audio from the shotgun mic was used. Also I waffle on A LOT… So feel free to fast forward to the second half to hear the changes more clearly!
Lastly, sound is very objective and personal, but this is a guide to getting the best sound form your speakers and decoders!
