Best settings on a 13 band eq for rock and r&b

It APPEARS that the MR8 does NOT include the ability to EQ. They have delay effects and the like built in, but no EQ.

To answer your question then, you would need to have an EXTERNAL EQ unit and loop the vocal through that unit to do EQ to do it right.

When mastering, the "powerful/natural/and bright would be filters that will emphasize the bass (powerful) or the treble (bright) but these are really not EQ's and you can ONLY choose one at a time.

Bass will be anything below 300Hz, mid will be 300Hz to 5KHz (Voice), above 5KHz will be Treble.

Hello hawk713, Like with many other JVC receivers, adjusting the bass is done from the "EQ" (equalizer) mode for one or all of 6 presets: ROCK, CLASSIC, JAZZ, HIP HOP, POPS, and USER. To adjust it, select the desired preset mode, use the left/right rocker (on volume control) to scroll to the desired frequency, 60, 150, 400, 1K, 2.4K, 6K, and 15K, and then turn the volume control up/down to set a level from -5 to +5. 60 and 150 adjusts the bass, 400, 1K, and 2.4K adjusts the midrange, and 6K and 15K adjusts the treble. Then you select whichever EQ setting sounds best with the particular music you're playing. Hope this helps.

You need to go into your menu and set the "MOVIE EQ" to your liking. That is where your bass/treble balance is on a Lifestyle system.

Only parametric EQ OR Bass/Treble can be active at a time. There is a option to set which one you want, refer to manual. Follow this- Adjusting Sound Setting Mode (long press "sound-mode" button) -> EQ SELECT-> select either P. EQ or B/T

Provided the rest of your system is all tuned an in proper shape, and up for the wattts, the best sound to set, starting with the low end...start with is a slightly elevated above zero (about 1/4 up from zero) then slowly gradually slope it down to 1/4 below zero in middle and then back up to 1/4 above at the high end.

The result is a gently curved V type shape.

Now, knock down the highest 2 or 3 freq bands a few clicks till they are just above zero. (1/8).

This is the curve you would shoot for with a real-time analyzer for SQ, punch and clarity.

Here is a manual for the radio. If you go to page 14 it will tell you how to set the EQ.

Hello, i have a hifonics brutus also, in the manual it states to set the eq at half way, so that there is no clipping or at least to prevent clipping , the eq will make the bass punchier, if you do go pass half way, i would recommend to readjust your gain settings, also check your head unit settings and make sure everything is flat, bass, mid bass etc. example i had my eq past half but i had my gain at mid way, it was hitting hard, then i tried turning the eq all the way down and the turning up the gain and the bass was smoother so it depends where you set it, and what settings you have on your head unit tone control (bass, treble etc)

press the EQ button until it says custom on the seting then press the tuner select button left or right and it will say bass or treble use the volume to turn it up or down then u got the bass control.:)

I have an Alpine 9887 you have a different eq than just trebel and bass the only way to get you bass an trebel setings are to install the imprint stoftware now if thats the route you go it tunes your radio to what it thinks it should sound like it's for sound quality not for alot of bass been there done that I have the software but you need to take it to a good alpine dealer to have it installed good luck
