Lines: 10 Personally, I agree with Dick Grantges. The ability of an equalizer to correct frequency response abberations in a room (and to second-guess the recording engineer) more than offsets the minor phase distortion and noise that a good EQ will add. A spectrum analyzer is essential to properly EQ a room without much hassle, and many of the better units combine an EQ with an analyzer. The key thing is to get a GOOD EQ, which will set you back $500+ (a cheapo one isn't worth the trouble). Regards, Bill Mitchell (ihnp4!lcuxc!wjm)
