That's the txt file for the eq curve

If anyone tries this, let me know how you like it!

Thanks for the graphics! But - how much dB is that per division? 5?

Yeah, I believe it's 5. I'm at work now, so I can't confirm that.

There are so many theories on the optimal equalization like free field, diffuse field, the harman curve etc. I'm definitely not an expert, I'm just messing around. What I did was take the mic I already own, which does not have a calibration file (it's a Blue Yeti), put it in stereo mode, and clamped the sz2000 to it with the best seal that could be made (it was actually a decent seal). I was using the 55x pads by the way. Then I checked my mic levels with the sine wave to see if I was putting out db's in a range that bassheads would be listening to. After that I recorded a sine sweep from 10hz to 20,000hz and then I used REW to flatten it out automatically using peak filters and then saved the automatic eq out to txt file and added in my own bassed boost in the 10-40hz range. The result is what you see.

The Yeti mic has a fairly flat frequency response itself, so it should be fairly accurate, but there are so many variables.... Bottom line is that I thought it sounded pretty darn good so I thought I would share.

The DAC/AMP combo may affect the frequency response as well. The variables are never ending it seems.

The DAC/AMP I'm using are the Behringer UMC204HD and the IFI MICRO ICAN SE. I had bought the behringer, odac, and IFI IDAC2 at the same time and did a/b tests and the Behringer and IDAC2 sounded the best (nearly identical) and the Behringer actually does better on jitter tests (see audiosciencereviews on that). I noticed that with the IDAC2 and the Behringer, I could get the bass louder before distortion than I could with the ODAC and definitely more than I could with the onboard sound.

For 80 bucks the little Behringer can't be beat IMO.

i just found out today that the Sony Z7 is a bass monster! I picked up a pair like new on eBay and at first wasn't impressed. I then switched to balanced cables on my X7 gen 2 and was more impressed. Then I hooked up the X7 to the Vorzuge Vorzamp Duo and put Blade Runner 2049 soundtrack on. Of course the bass boost (and treble boost were tipped on). Wow, subwoofer on my ears. The Z7 is flawed but it'll take any bass thrown at it. It's like the EX1000 that way. Sony don't play. They put in large drivers in their headphones and earphones.

Hey bro if that works for you that's great! I would like to hear feedback from anyone that tries my eq settings though. I didn't make the eq settings just to make bass. I made the eq settings to maximize bass but also just as importantly, to make them sound really good through all the frequencies.

My IFI ICAN SE amp has a bass boost on it, and though it works pretty damn good, it distorts the bass earlier than my eq settings do. I've found that the sz2000 handles higher volume without distortion when the bass boost is in the lower frequencies between 10 and 30hz rather than 40 to 60. I boost the most between 10-30 and start tapering down after that.

Finally got to wiring the SZ 2k for balanced use or regular SE use.

First one in the world! Gotta be!

Dope...very nice!!

A basshead proposal. Maybe for some not gangsta, soft, etc, but dat b-ass !!!

After 6 years they return with this good record.
