Equipment Info
High-quality loudspeakers
are spectrally matched at
the factory, meaning they
have very close to the
same frequency
response.
However, each
manufacturer has
different tolerances and
standards when
spectrally matching their
speakers. Besides room
equalization, one of the
main improvements of
MultEQ Pro is equalizing
the frequency response of
speakers so that they are
spectrally matched. This
is why it is important to
recalibrate your
customer’s system even if
they replace one of their
speakers with one of the
same model.
Why is it important to
have spectrally matched
speakers? The ability for
us to create sound
images in our brain and
perceive sound coming
from places in the room
where the speakers aren’t
located, depends on the
spectral information
coming to our ears in a
symmetrical way.
By equalizing speakers
that aren’t exactly
spectrally matched, you
are improving imaging
and soundstage.
