I know this was posted months ago, but I actually only just saw this now lol.
The overall shape actually matches my own EQ, though with a greater cut in the treble. It needs a bit more energy there to make details stand out, IMO. I also add a little bit of sub bass just to add some extra oompf.
So my tweaked version looks something like this:
Preamp: -1.1 dB
Filter 1: ON PK Fc 20 Hz Gain 1.0 dB Q 0.600
Filter 2: ON PK Fc 1250 Hz Gain 1.0 dB Q 1.000
Filter 3: ON HSC Fc 2500 Hz Gain -1.0 dB Q 0.420
Filter 4: ON PK Fc 3900 Hz Gain -2.5 dB Q 2.000
This is actually a pretty good EQ for intense heavy metal since it smooths over the typical problem areas for death, black, etc.
Hey there, not sure if anyone got back to you on this, but I actually emailed Audeze and asked for the Q levels on their app and they told me it is 2 for all bands.
It’s a 10 band equalizer, with frequencies set to:
32hz, 64, 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000, 16000
Q Level set to 2.0
If you could make an EQ for that, that would be awesome (and maybe one with a little bass boost, I find the default to be a little lacking.
Back with another request, Audeze LCDi3 without cipher cable. Almost all the EQs shared are for LCDi4 or iSine series, and I’d love to use this with my Q5K when i don’t have access to Reveal+. Thanks again.
Greetings, @listener, thank you for all the great work!
May I ask what would be your baseline generic (to serve as a foundation to experiment with the filter values for casual personalization) target for IEM equalization at the moment? Would it be JM-1 or WIP DF HRTF and what would be the default/reference preference adjustments filter values?
Preamp: -2.9 dB
Filter 1: ON PK Fc 32 Hz Gain 3.0 dB Q 2.000
Filter 2: ON PK Fc 64 Hz Gain -1.0 dB Q 2.000
Filter 3: ON PK Fc 125 Hz Gain -2.0 dB Q 2.000
Filter 4: ON PK Fc 250 Hz Gain -1.0 dB Q 2.000
Filter 5: ON PK Fc 2000 Hz Gain -1.0 dB Q 2.000
Filter 6: ON PK Fc 8000 Hz Gain 1.0 dB Q 2.000
Adjust band 1 for sub-bass
Adjust band 2 for mid-bass bump
Adjust band 3 for vocal and snare chestiness
Adjust band 4 for fullness
Adjust band 5 for texture/intensity
Adjust band 6 for clarity (highly suggest playing around with this band in particular)
Preamp: -5.8 dB
Filter 1: ON PK Fc 20 Hz Gain 6.0 dB Q 0.500
Filter 2: ON PK Fc 155 Hz Gain -2.5 dB Q 0.500
Filter 3: ON PK Fc 425 Hz Gain 0.9 dB Q 2.000
Filter 4: ON PK Fc 950 Hz Gain -0.6 dB Q 2.000
Filter 5: ON PK Fc 2300 Hz Gain 2.3 dB Q 1.200
Filter 6: ON PK Fc 3900 Hz Gain -7.0 dB Q 2.400
Filter 7: ON PK Fc 6150 Hz Gain -5.0 dB Q 4.000
Filter 8: ON PK Fc 7750 Hz Gain 2.0 dB Q 2.000
Filter 9: ON HSC Fc 9500 Hz Gain -4.0 dB Q 2.000
Adjust band 1 for sub-bass extensoin
Adjust band 2 for warmth
Adjust band 5 for midrange clarity and texture
Adjust band 6 for glare/harshness
Adjust band 8 for treble coherence
Adjust band 9 for air
Highly, highly recommend playing around with bands 8 and 9
For IEMs it would indeed be either of those two as a baseline, doesn’t really matter which.
As far as typical preference adjustment for myself, i’ve just been EQing to DF and then applying a -0.95dB/octave low pass filter at 432 Hz (essentially B&K’s Optimum Hifi room tilt) and if I need a bit more bass for that program material, just adding a shelf in the typical spot to taste.
I would like to try this adjustment but I’m having a hard time figuring out how on PowerampEQ. What would a -0.95dB/octave low pass filter at 432 Hz be in terms of Q and gain?

You mean WIP DF HRTF that has less lower treble energy compared to B&K 5128’s DF HRTF, right?
Any chance you could add that B&K Optimum Hi-Fi room tilt compensation curve that you target as a selectable option to your GitHub measurements/EQ web tool someday?
