hi guys ,please tell me is it better to have a graphic eq or a parametric eq.

This question has no answer.

Parametric isn't better than graphic, and graphic isn't better than parametric. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. Parametric allows you to target specific problem areas and has more adjustability through adjustable Q and center frequency, but typically has a limited number of bands. Graphic has fixed center frequencies and you can't adjust the Q, but typically has many more bands than parametric which allows you to better smooth the entire response or a larger area of the response.

"Which is better" is completely situation dependent. In some situations, where there are only a limited number of major problem areas, the parametric (with their lower number of bands but more adjustability) may be the best way to go. In other situations, where you want or need control over the entire response, graphic would be a better option.

So the only way to answer you question is by asking; What is it that you need?

parametric. More tweaking potential, because it allows you to pick which frequencies you wish to boost.

The fact that you can answer the question without knowing specifics tells me that you answered incorrectly //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I know...I just needed to vent about the inability of members here to follow basic, simple rules of the forum.

In a few days, it shall be revived! I planned on putting a quote from their new album in there aswell, but can't decide which I want to go with //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

But that is a topic for another thread.......

No

sometimes I feel that we dont get any straight answers?

so guys it means a 13 band geq in 860mp will perform better than 3 band parametric in p8mp with seperate bass&treble controls

It depends on what you need.

The 13 band graphic will give you greater control over the response, but won't allow you to targe specific areas.

The 3 band parametric will allow you to narrow in more specifically on a certain area, but has less overall control over the entire bandwidth of frequencies.

I personally woul rather than the 13 band graphic. You can't fix much with a mere 3 bands of parametric, car stereos have far more problem areas than that. The 13 band graphic would allow greater control over the entire frequency response.
