TRUTH B2030P/B2031P

3.3 Adapting the TRUTH to the room acoustics

To acoustically adapt your TRUTH to your control room, in cases when the speakers are located in unusual places or when you have specific sound requirements, you may have to use an external equalizer. It should be connected in the signal path between your mixing console and your amp.

The BEHRINGER ULTRACURVE PRO DEQ2496 has proven its usefulness in practice, as it is not only a simple equalizer but also features a real-time analyzer. You can use our measuring microphone ECM8000 to automatically adapt the TRUTH to your room or modify its frequency response.

As a general rule, you should set up and adjust the TRUTH with great care. Above all, you should take your time: unlike hi-fi speakers, the TRUTH is tuned to produce a neutral sound, which can be confusing when you are working for the first time with such a high-quality speaker. Don’t try to adjust the TRUTH with an equalizer to produce a “bombastic” sound that impresses you or other listeners. To get a feeling for the TRUTH’s sound, you should listen to as many records as possible that were produced in other studios. We also recommend that you listen to your own recordings over as many other systems as possible, for example, your car system. If you find that your mixes are somewhat “dull” in their overall sound, the reason might be too much treble from your TRUTH. On the other hand, if you set the bass level too high, you will find that your mixes lack bass power. Tuning a speaker can take several days’ time, so once again: take your time!
