![]() I was not hearing anything the EQ was doing so I decided to crank to subs freq by 20 db and the 12K+ b 20 db aswell then got tired. Sat in front of my TV and pluged the HDMI in and started to play with the Equalizer APO. Well, what came next was totaly unexpected for me.Īfter buying them, I came back home and installed Equalizer APO with Peace GUI. I was also concerned when people were saying that they were uncomfortable. I was very curious when people pointed out that the AKG were in a world of their own in the Spatial stage side. I've always been interested in Rap instrumental production and later on in Electronic production.Īs a Rap producer I always had to dig for records so of course I've listened to a lot of Soul, Jazz and Funk.įirst I made an extensive research on the Q701 compared them to the HD600 and DT880. What resulted is me not sleeping much for the time it lasted. I burned myself taking too much project at the same time trying to do the studio sessions with the artists and also do the mixing in a very short amount of time. Started working with big pop star in my province in 1999 but it didnt last long. Quincy Jones Signature Reference Headphones and I think its appropriate to tell the whole thing for you to understand where I'm at with them.īut first, I think it would be more appropriate to let you know a bit about me. ![]() I had a very interesting first date with Mr. I bought the Q701 yesterday and just started using them tonight. 5 db is almost 2 perceived unit level and thats already way too much to make an accurate decision when mixing. Those Headphones are very flat and responsive for their 500$ USD original price range but they can be adjusted and I will do it given then Obvious 5 to -10 db flaws in some specific frequencies. No, Using my Cans ''as is'' is not a valid option. Also, I need to point out that I dont believe in positive amp correction given the nature of my correction ( reference ) so YES I will be applying some VERY intensive EQ correction to some frequencies to match the quietest point of the Frequency response.Īnyways, any method to suggest other then sending my Headphones for surgical analysis ? Yes I know I need to put the ITB preamp settings to negative value. Just to make sure I'm not making you type for no reason. My point here is that I want to reduce the flaws of my Headphones but I dont want to create others. ![]() Second thing that appeared to be obvious to me was that even though I have an idea of the type of EQ reduction that need to be applied per frequencies( given the analysis that were made by 3rd party professionals ), How would i know the Q of each bell frequencies other then trying to guess it by its visual ( that we all know are never very accurate ). Two things areobvious to me when I'm thinking about the concept First, how would I make sure that my Headphones doesn't have any flaws compared to the other of the same model but also, How can I make sure that the Batch made ( Given the Serial ) were not slightly different in therms of Frequency response. The process suggested after an extensive read on the subject was to take the Headphone frequency response, invert it and apply the settings to the Peace GUI for the Equalizer APO to recall them easily. So to get back to the original subject, I decided to go with the Equalizer APO. Of course, some listening will be made in my monitors once in a while but nothing extensive so no one go crazy about me listening to the same track in a loop. So as I live in an appartement building, I decided to go the Headphone way for the sake of keeping my Neighbors happy. The only thing I could point out as a problem in this specific situation is the cost of the modification that this specialist would suggest for you to get a proper sound Calibration in your room. ![]() ![]() Of course, some would argue that an Electro-Acoustic Engineer would do a way better job then those ''preset-made'' type of amateur solutions and having dealt with them in the past, I would have no choice but to agree. That's why some Solution were developed over the year and I'm think of Room EQ, Arc2 or Sonarworks to name only some of the most popular ones. Just bought myself a brand new pair of AKG Q701 Quincy Jones Reference Headphone for a ridiculous 300$ CAD (225$ USD).Īs we all know, no sound gear is always perfectly Flat. ![]()
