Anyone got any good Shibatch Equalizer presets they would like to share?.

... for you to use? wink.gif

That's not really what the SuperEQ is intended for. Find out here how to find your optimal setting.

kennedyb4 once posted a setting optimized for headphones, which he worked out based on calculations of some sort:

0 0 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 5 7 8 5 3 0 0 0 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 5 7 8 5 3 0 40 15 5 1 1

Paste that line into a text file and save it so something.eq.

Yeah, this is a modified Fletcher-Munson loudness curve that I use with my portable.

It has a nice dip at 6K and a low bass boost. It does not have the hump at 2K though.

Nothing fancy, but it improves the sound of my KSC-35's.

Yeah, you really need to determine your own EQ settings...
If you have a dB meter you can use that to set your speaker EQ...
Headphone EQ is a lot more difficult to set.

I had a really good EQ setting for Sony EX70 canalphones. If you have that phone and want it I can post it here. Otherwise I'm already too tired of posting it over and over again at head-fi.com... smile.gif rolleyes.gif

Why on earth would one want to apply a Fletcher-Mundson equalisation to music blink.gif , and why on headphones and not on speakers ?

Westgroveg, do you like my Dynaudio-Gemini-filter-modified-by-La-Maison-Du-Haut-Parleur-plus-right-speaker-resonance-in-my-room-between-the-right-bookshelf-and-the-kitchen-sink correction rolleyes.gif ?

Is this not the right term?

It's supposed to compensate for the way headphones direct the sound directly into the ear canal.

I picked it up at headwise.

Yeah, that EQ setting sounds very good with my KSC-50s too. Thx! biggrin.gif

Fletcher-Mundson are curves of equal perceived loudness. The Fletcher Mundson curve for 0db is the Absolute threshold of hearing. I don't know the name of the curve you speak about.

I believe it's called a Head-Related Transfer Function... rolleyes.gif

i remember reading somewhere that part of the reason 'louder' sounds 'better' is claimed to be that the fletcher-munson curves are flatter at louder levels. thus eq which is the inverse of the fletcher munson curve helps achieve this 'flatness' at lower volume levels. this could concievably account for the popularity of the 'disco smile' (high lows and highs--looks like a smile on the eq panel)
