Description: In this video, I demonstrate how to calculate Parametric EQ (PEQ) filters to flatten the bass response in your home theater. We first discuss what PEQ filters are and how to determine the center frequency, bandwidth and Q to make precise calculations for correction. Remember this important formula: Q = Fc /(f2-f1) where Fc = Center frequency f2 (-3dB) of right side of the peak f1 (-3dB) of left side of the peak We talk about how the various brands of AV receivers and processors provide you settings to make these adjustments. We also discuss the importance of using multiple subwoofers to tighten up the seat to seat frequency consistency to make PEQ more effective for every seat. We then do a case study of the bass response in the new #AHSmartHome across the front row of 4 seats to show you how to correct for a bass peak common at all of the seats. One filter will fix this bass bump at every seat location. Remember, you should be getting good bass at EVERY seat, not just the Main Listening Position (MLP). Enjoy good home theater with your friends and loved ones, by giving them the same bass you're getting.
