Hi,
Well the Poineer 47TX has come in and I must say it is a nice amp. At 63 pounds it's more than a handful, but man does it sound good. That said, now it's time to make it sound even better.
Its MCACC generates up to 90 separate EQ settings (9 per channel for 7 channels, plus 3 alternates for a "front-aligned" soundfield). These settings are all displayed on a setup check, but I'm having trouble trying to get to them.
After much futzing around I haven't found a way to manually adjust the EQ settings the MCACC comes up with.
Our room and speaker placement gets picked up really well, but after months of listening to the Paradigm coloration of a no-EQ signal we find the more-accurate settings of MCACC rather "thin". While half an hour of listening to the MCACC-generated settings makes the MCACC-off setting sound "boomy", I'd still like more control to even out the change a bit, tone down the high end, and bring back some fullness to the bass.
Is there a way to get to the EQ settings for manual adjustment?
Can the crossover simply be turned off? My speakers go down to 37 Hz, and the sub can cross over as low as 35 Hz. These match up better without the crossover (lowest it goes is 50) than with it.
I was able to correct much of the MCACC's percieved over-corrections by placing the speakers in odd locations for the MCACC calibration runs, then putting them back in place. But this is a bit inconvenient and still leaves a couple holes in the desired sound field.
Thanks for any advice.
