Product Overview

Loudspeakers interact with every room differently. Often room acoustics are challenging and compromises in speaker size and placement have to be made for aesthetic reasons. Consequently, the quality of sound may not be as good as intended. Your Parasound R/EQ-150 permits you to subtly adjust the frequency response characteristics in these situations and improve overall sound quality.

The Parasound R/EQ-150 has one-half octave width ± 8 dB boost and cut controls centered at 40 Hz, 80 Hz, 120 Hz, 2.5 kHz and 6 kHz. These frequency ranges were carefully selected so that you can easily make precise improvements in frequency response curves in difficult installations while minimizing potential adverse effects should the controls become accidentally misadjusted.
