Equalizer, Vocal Softening?

[-=PLuKE=-]

I have been talking about my B&W 685s being alittle bright in the vocal area when on mid/high volumes. So which bars do i need to play with, I have played with some but TBH i dont really know what am doing, So i did play with the equalizer but i seem to get the treble down to much so it sounds alittle muffled.

Here is picture of how i have set the equalizer up. (look at the top of the screen)



Thanks, Hope you can help!!.

I would guess that the software you are using isn't that sophisticated or aimed at hifi applications.

Does your amp have treble and bass controls - probably not as I would imagine that would be the first thing you would have considered.

A tube amp might be an interesting solution if you have any cash burning a hole in your pocket. A guy I know who plays the bass is just getting into hifi for his home. After hearing a tube amp on a little pair of Quad 11L he has now decided to double his budget just to get into tubes. There seems to be a bit of a tube amp invasion from China at the moment. There are even some nifty tube amps that are set up to dock i-plops, sorry pods (I'm a bit old school). Maybe, just maybe this is the sound that you seek.

Try adjusting a bit downward in the 2-4 kHz range. Too much emphasis there can put an annoying “edge” on vocals.
