If you want great sound, it is crucial to EQ your room. EQing your room is putting EQ on your main mix so that your overall mix is shaped to fit your room.

In this video, Kade shows you how to EQ your room on the Behringer Wing.

The solution to room eq is far more complex than this tutorial makes out to seem. For instance, you may be trying to eq a comb filter which is almost pointless. Maybe a good add to this approach is moving the mic to different locations in the room to find the frequencies that are building up, and then cut those. The best way to eq a system is with a transfer function measurement and knowledge of sound wave characteristics. Michael Curtis has a bunch of great videos going in depth on this approach.

Thanks for making tech videos that are accessible to a lot of people!

12 months ago I really took on the sound at church. Your videos have taken me from absolute noob to something that I’m very proud to put online for our live feed. Your simple trying like this video have helped so much. Soon I will let you critique our live stream haha.

A highly technical note on this is use two pink noise generators: one for the right, and one for the left. Then EQ each side independently.

This is because using one noise generator, like the on built into your mixer sending to both sides, you’ll induce phase cancellation in your measurements, and you’ll never get that even sound across your room.

Plus, EQing left and right (and center, if you have one) independently, you can get a wider stereo mix resulting in a cleaner sound 🙂

Thanks for the info... Can you use the OVL under settings to have graphics on all channel EQ sections?

[kalisuraki]

Awesome video .... can you do a video with mixstation and behringer xair18 .thanks

Might be a little pedantic of me but you are not EQing the room, you are EQing your speaker system. :)

Which is better. Open sound meter or the mixer only

Does Wing's graphical analyzer appear to be bugged or is there some function that I can disable? The graphic analyzer is not reporting frequency modulation on the channel equalizer page. Anyone else having this problem?

Is there any way to adjust the sub with the highs, for example using a kit from QSC, K12.2 and Ksub, how would I adjust the phase in the cutoff region using the 3-way link (L and R and Sub) with this method from the video? Thank you.

Think this is a bit dangerous in terms of calibrated measurement microphone. Doing it the way you described does not let you have the option to use a calibration file with your measurement microphone. From my understanding you will need a microphone that is linear already out of the box.

This might be a dumb question, but if the RTA-M is omnidirectional, shouldn't we point it perpendicular to the speakers?

You had me at "Eleminate"...haha. Love you guys and what you do, just a little spelling mis-hap.

You can't EQ a room, you can only EQ a sound system ;-) Well, you can EQ a room - if you take a bulldozer to it. But this method of EQing a system to a room is highly flawed and not used in professional sound system setup anymore. The reason is that basic RTA is "time blind" can cannot tell what is direct speaker sound vs. reflected sound. Using this method invariably leads to making EQ choices to "fix" what cannot be fixed with EQ and can actually make things worse than when you started. Only a dual input FFT based RTA with proper transfer function can show a user what might or might not be able to be fixed with EQ. Programs like SMAART are popular with professional for a reason - you can't use regular RTAs for serious EQ choices.

You spent oscillator wrong in the video
