If you're doing it and you like the sound, terrific. Otherwise, you might want to consider getting a higher-quality equalizer ... or go without an equalizer at all. For instance, an equalizer without an RTA is likely to more harm than good ...


Thanks Jeff... I am OK on the phase issue in my set-up, but you are absolutely right about the potential harm.

I believe there are a significant number of sound processors available that also offer phase alignment adjustment for multiple channels. I my case the parametric EQ is made by Symetrix, and it has not altered the phase of the signal significantly enough to be a problem.
