When setting levels, either manually using a SPL meter or automatically using the 976's included mic, a large peak in one of the channels can throw off the measurement, resulting in mismatched levels. To avoid mismatched levels, better to first EQ the response smooth and then set levels, as Helson posted.

Levels shouldn't affect the EQ step. A 6dB peak will remain 6dB louder than adjacent frequencies whether you turn the level up or down.
