Onkyo 804 question!

[Elvis1977]

Is there anyone with an Onkyo 804 that would like to share their 5-band equilizer settings with me. Sometimes I get so confused adjusting the highs and lows, I just turn the equalizer off completely.

Thanks,

Someone could share their EQ levels with you but you probably won't want the same ones as them. EQ's generally should be set taking into account specific speakers, their placement and room acoustics.

I have the Jbl Northridge series: E100,ec35,and e50 with e250p sub.
Room is a square 15 x 15

Elvis,

avaserfi makes an excellent point. Equalizer settings are dependent on factors that will not be shared between you and others here. In fact, the "optimal" equalizer setting can easily vary from one location in a room to another because of the effects of the room (walls, furniture, room treatments).

It's a good question to ask, but my advice is to use this information and set the equalizer so that the system sounds good to you. If you prefer to have the equalizer off, that's not a bad choice. The new Onkyo 805 comes with an auto-equalizer system, but I didn't find very quickly on the internet if the 804 has something similar. If it came with a microphone, it probably does.

Yeah, I tried the auto set-up and it was way off. It actually sounds better turned off. Too bad there are not pre set settings for rock, pop, etc.
