How To Disappear Completely: My Year Of Working Without Corrective EQ
ProSoundWeb: A few years ago, I embarked on a quest to remove the last few bands of corrective parametric equalization from the input channels of my front of house mix for Umphreys McGee (UM). I spent two full years working out how to give up corrective EQ, and now I feel ready to explain how I did it.

This is an interesting concept. It had never occurred to me that it might be achievable to achieve an almost entirely “flat” system in such a chaotic and high gain environment as a stage with a full band and a PA system. I am still not entirely convinced that it’s feasable in most cases, as Earthworks mice are......well. Just a tad pricy. In addition, the time required to adjust the system to such a degree that it will sound good with minimal adjustment for whatever the setup onstage. That said, if correctly implemented, this kind of system should sound much better than the average, digitally corrected setup. I would like to see the analysis for the other instruments, the other components of the system (mixer, amplifiers, loudspeakers) and final frequency and impulse response measurements. If it works, it would be not only one of the best sounding systems, but also one of the most user friendly and foolproof systems.
