Any word on how the EQ actually worked & sounded for monitor applications? I'm somewhat intrigued by the graphic EQ, since they apparently don't have the EQ band overlap of a conventional graphic. |

Back to your question of freqs NOT close to the ISO centers: in testing GEQs back in 2003 I found that the Proportional Q setting on Rane's DEQ 60L was able to cut a 'tweener freq 3dB more than the Perfect Q setting--this with the two flanking faders jammed all the way down to -12. In real world usage, though, you wouldn't want your one 'tweener freq cut like crazy if it killed the surrounding 'good' freqs--you would want your graphic EQ to fix the badness and retain as much of the goodness as possible. In the case where I made the GEQ cut exactly 6dB of the 'tweener freq, I found that the Proportional Q style robbed you of about 1.3-1.5dB more 'good' sound than the Perfect Q style. Perfect Q topology gives you the in-between ISO cut and still retains all the music power you were looking for. Goal! -Bink |

When you next get a chance could you take a screen-shot of the transfer function page? This looks to be much easier to deal with than the annoying Smaart device interface. Just wondering how many Smaart features are directly accessable from the Lake software. |

I don't remember if you can adjust the spectrograph thresholds. So can you adjust them via Lake? It would also be beneficial to show the min and max thresholds on top of the RTA as well. And while your at that the ability to change the thresholds by means of the bars displayed by the min and max threshold. |

I would love to get my hands on one of these for testing, but unfortunately I'm in Norway and they (Dobly ) for some reason do not have distributors here... What is the retail price for the demo unit? I guess trying to get a demo shipped across the pond is a long shot... |
