Re: Looking for perfect EQ-setting with Fostex TH900

This will be tricky as every voice is a little bit different.

Maybe experiment in Band 3 (F500) and raise the Level 1st to a much higher value of i.e. +10dB and then sweep the frequency between 500 - 1000 to find out where the most impact is. Then lower the Gain and still sweep around that frequency.
Might work or not .. simply try.

Re: Looking for perfect EQ-setting with Fostex TH900

I would like to make a boost about 6 db here
from 400 to 700 Hz to make it not so curved.

So boost at 540Hz  with Q1.6 might be fine.

A tool would be great therefore.

It's quite difficult to EQ against the innerfidelity measurements, but apart from the boost you mention I would try scooping out the midbass a little (200-240 Hz, Q 0.5-0.7, -3 dB say) and try a bit of a boost around 3k.

The best approach is to buy phones that fit and maybe only need little adjustments like Bass.

Why would you not use the EQ in the ADI-2 Pro?

The th900 has a incredible clean sound, only the middle (voices) should be EQed - than it is perfect

Danke für die Unterstützung
Momentan lasse ich es mit G +4   F 560   Q 0.5 laufen
Mal sehen, ob es nerven wird.

Herrlich die Umschaltmöglichkeit zwischen den verschiedenen Presets.

You may want to tinker with the 200hz to the 6khz portion. If its not enough, then yeah... another headphone would be a better fit.

I have also L700 and K812 - but the th900 has sometimes more fun
