I played yesterday with Sound Pressure Level meter and Test DVD (Ultimate DVD Platinum) and it just confirmed what I knew that my system is not reproducing signal in mid ranges so I need to increase it with built in equalizer. Amp is Sony STR-DB1070
However, my equalizer works in a way that I have to choose frequency and gain (in dB). I can choose 1 frequency in each range. Ranges are:
BASS: 99Hz - 1kHz
MID: 190Hz - 10kHz
TREBLE: 1kHz - 10kHz
Gain is distributed in bell shape (I think it's called Gauss shape, my university days are far behind me) around chosen frequency.
 
I took a measurments on 3 frequencies:
1 kHz -7dB
4 kHz -2dB
8 kHz +1.5dB
 
Now I need to flatten frequency response curve with these "bells", but I forgot how to calculate the gain (formula). How far from central frequency it falls on 75%, 50%, 25% of the value.
E.g. if I have two 2 "bells" and in the middle of them each of them falls to 50% of the value, resulting curve between them will be 100%. value because they add.
 
I hope this all makes sense.
Probably Mark can help me with this.
 
I tried with hit and miss method, but went nowhere, because those settings affect each other. I need to put on paper what I expect and then I can fine tune by measuring.
