Now I'm officially excited about the 976!! Hats off to the Outlaws for coordinating with REW on how to use the PEQ function in the 976 in combination with the tools in REW. I've got a 131 page tutorial on REW to read!

please post a link*

REW does more than merely measure; it can also suggest parametric EQ filters to tame the peaks & dips that it measured. These filters have 3 parameters: centre frequency (where the peak or dip is centered at), boost/cut (how many dB to bring down a peak or boost a dip) and Q (the width of the filter: is the peak a sharp needle or broad hill).

REW can suggest generic parameters for the PEQ filters. However, if you have a device that is supported by REW (like the 976), then REW will spit out filter parameters specifically with the 976 in mind. Things like the amount of boost/cut or the number of filters per channel will be based on the 976's capabilities. As Ben said, you can take these parameters and dial them right into the 976.

To get an idea of how PEQ parameters vary by device, take a look at the following link:

I found the tutorial on AVSForum and created by member AustinJerry. This should all look familiar to sdurani as I see he participates regularly on AVSForum. The tutorial is located in DropBox.

Yup, am friends with Jerry outside the forms. I think my user name is listed at the end of the guide as one of the many posters that helped out with the content.

Thanks for that updated REW tutorial. I still had an older version on my laptop.

So quiet lately, anything new on the 976? Anything to talk about with it?

I would like the 976 to permit "Large" Surrounds and "Small" front LR. I now have rear L&R subs that accuratly dig into the high 20s.

I would think that you will be able to set the size of the individual speakers similar to what the 975 allows.

Here is the latest on the 976. Post# 96676
