> [@tjg](#): > > Keep in mind, for some of us this is what takes to keep our children healthy Right. And that’s the beauty of EQ, as I see: – subtle: healthy; – too much: trouble. As simple as that. PS.: I gave up on using analogies on this forum for a while now. I used a blender instead. It just created confusion. 😄 ---

Hi Chrono! Could you please provide me the appropriate preamp value for the the Philips SHP9600’s eq profile you created. I notice on your eq profiles the preamp value is not mentioned. How do we determine this value? Thank you! ---

The largest boost is 2db so -3db should be enough. ---

Thank you, what would be the correspondent Low Shelf Filter on Peace? _Low Shelf Filter_ ( **Standard** , no Q option though) ; _Low Shelf Filter_ ( **Slope in DB** ) or _Low Shelf Filter_ ( **Q as a Slope** ) ? Would be awesome if you could standardize your EQ presets on something non-proprietary like **Peace**. ---

For peace, low shelf no Q value works fine, it’s the one I use on Peace! 😁 Also, settings should work the same in both Roon and Peace. ---

In some pieces you can really feel the rumble. Sundaras have been my first ever planars. A good place to start. ---

Hey Chrono! 👋 Did you by any chance try EQing the IE 900? I agree in your review in that the treble does have some peaks that render some instruments unnatural and voices sibilant. I think you mentioned it being around 6k and another one at 8.5k. I’ll try to start with that but I’m still wondering if you maybe had a profile already and just haven’t updated. Also, would appreciate it if you have any other suggestions with the EQ. Thanks Chrono! 🙏 ---

Hey, thanks for checking out the EQ’s! Generally I don’t EQ IEM’s because I mainly use them on the go, where using a parametric EQ is a bit more complicated. Unfortunately, I don’t have an EQ for the IE900 that I can share. However, I do think that first playing around with the settings at around 5.5-6K, and the ones at 8.5K would be a good place to start with those. I wish I could be more helpful, but I don’t currently have the IE900 with me. Though, do let me know how your EQ’ing goes, and how you’re liking the IE900! Cheers! ---

Appreciate the response Chrono! I’ll start by playing around with those… I really like the IE 900 btw, but at first I was fairly disappointed. It wasn’t until I started experimenting around with the included foam filters and tip positions that I finally found a setting I was satisfied with. I tried other 3rd-party tips as well but it ended up messing with the stage a bit. I found out that with the stock tips there are two grooves inside it allowing for two kind of insertion depths (two modes, if you will). So, I ended up with the stock silicone tips inserted halfway on the stem/nozzle with 2 of the foam filters that are in each stock tip shoved inside each eartip. Without 2 of them in, it became too intense for me. Now, it’s pretty much perfect aside from the treble anomaly that can be sometimes distracting. ---

I think this profile is working alright: **G -2db F 8.5k Q 2** **G -3db F 6k Q 4** **Pre-amp -3db** I don’t use EQ often but I think that’s pretty conservative. It does sound less distracting tho, so I’ll try this for now… ---

Hi, there is an error for the HE400SE Chrono EQ no ? I mean its supposed to be +2db at 1500hz and not -2db right ? As chrono said in his review that he increased that region so i think it should be +2db but now i’m confused sorry i’m a noob in EQ so now i’m not sure if i should use +2db or -2db at 1500hz region please can someone just tell me what is the correct value ? That being said thx Chrono for that EQ comp i keep using them with all my headphones (6XX, 560S and now HE400SE) and for me it’s always a slight increase in overall tonality ! ---

Yes, that was a typo and I appreciate you pointing it out! It’s supposed to be +2dB and I’ve now fixed it 🙂 [Previous page](https://forum.headphones.com/t/chronos-eq-profile-compilation/7091.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forum.headphones.com/t/chronos-eq-profile-compilation/7091.md?page=3)
