>From cusory examination the plug-in did not seem to offer sufficicent precision (# of band of eq) or types of eq.
In contrast the DEQ9624 provides 31 band graphic eq, also parametric eq, and shelving type filters. All have independent Left & right processing. It also offers dynamics processing (compression, expansion, gating, limiting) but these are not generally useful to me. We toyed with the "spatial expansion" feature but found it pretty useless. As to the freq response I mentioned. All things are relative. By using the adjustments on the back of the monitors, which being actively powered have several controls, we were able to achieve something like +/- 4db at the listening position. Is that perfect? No. But it's pretty good compared to other situations that we've encountered. My point was that it was flat enough that we didn't feel the purchase of the borrowed eq was warranted. Fred (owner of said eq) recently built a lovely pair of speakers from a kit. He bought the eq to get a quantitative idea of their performance in his listening room, and improve it if possible. His eq curves apply a very different correction than that created for my room & gear. My home office is a 400 sq ft space with vaulted ceiling, thin carpet on the floor, lotsa drywall surfaces and two sets of french style patio doors. Overly reflective I'd guess. My next project will be to install some traps & absorbtive panels. Opening the french doors completely changes the room as one entire side is approx 60% removed. Projection of music into the yard is very nice. Low end reproduction is much improved....at the cost of all the outside nose.
