Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have a graphic EQ connected to my
amp which I want to calibrate for a flat response. I've read
somewhere that you can't calibrate a EQ by ear using test tones
(different frequencies at same volume) but I'm wondering if I
can connect my laptop to a mic and run a dB meter program on it
in order to accurately depict the sound of the test tones. Using
the dB meter, I can then set my EQ properly so that all the
tones sound the same.  Will this technique work? I dont need
perfect calibration, I just want it to be reasonable calibrated.
share|improve this question Do the speakers sound bad/wrong
without the EQ? If you only need reasonably calibrated speakers,
your ears are probably sufficient to to direct your EQing. – 
JoshP Mar 29 '13 at 20:17 It sounds good now... I'm just
wondering if it would sound better if the speakers produced the
same sound as the "artist intended". So will my technique of
using the mic and test tones work? –  d.free Mar 29 '13 at 21:11
