[QUOTE="mast240, post: 7556470, member: 631695"] yes, but the main reason you set a flat eq, and keep it there, is because once you start changing the eq, then your gain settings are all off.... i know that sounds simple, and obvious... but let me explain my reasoning... most set sub gains with a 40-60hz test tune (depending on set up), and high gains with a 1khz (we wont even go into staging for this one, lol)... now, if you go playing around with your eq, you may end up changing your hu's output for the sub at say 30-38 hz, and your highs at 2.5 khz (just examples)... you could go back and check your signal for clipping, and it would still read clean, even tho it's clipping at certain frequencies... THAT is the main reason that most say to set your EQ flat and leave it... unless your going to set your eq, and test at varying frequencies, it is the simplest way to avoid clipping. [/QUOTE]
