Members skier4467 Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'm hoping someone can help me set the EQ better on my mixer. I am running 2 male vocals and 1 female vocal thru sm58s into a Samson XM910 powered mixer into 2 Peavey PR12 mains. We are a blues band playing small bars with 75 people in the audience. We have 2 guitars, bass, and drums but only send the 3 vocals through the PA. My PR12s are the older NON-NEO version. The mixer has a 10 band EQ. How should I set it? Those of you using PR12s how do you set your EQ? Thanks for any tips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dboomer Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 Setting the EQ depends on the room that you put the speakers in. It's likely different for each room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tlbonehead Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 I set it so that the response sounds even across the spectrum in that particular setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gary in NJ Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 dboomer is right, every room will have it's own dynamics. However, with that said, I find a 3/4 db cut at 1K helpful. The PR12's really have sloppy mid-base response. I don't know if is a function of the plastic enclosure or the budget speaker. From what I've learned, the 1012 Impulse uses a "similar" (I think it's the same) enclosure but doesn't suffer from the same boom as the PR12. Of course, the Black Widow woffer used in the Impulse is a great speaker and can't be compared to the Pro 12 in the PR12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gary in NJ Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 3/4 of a DB? Opps. 3 to 4 (should have typed 3-4) db. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
