'Dude Is Deaf' on Nady GEQ-231
Dude Is Deaf
Silly? Yes, this test might be called that. We've pumped the high frequencies by a huge amount to see if phase and frequency stay smooth. Monitors might need a little of this for an aging rock'n'roller who came up the hard way. Hopefully, none of you will ever get this particular guy in your club! With the Nady GEQ-231 early blackface version serving as the model you can see these fader settings: 2.5kHz +3dB, 3.15 +6, 4k +9, 5k +9, 6.3k +6 and 8kHz +3dB. Ouch! Where're my earplugs!

Check out the radical peaks on some of these EQs. The Sabine filters add together to make for +17 or +22dB peaks. On the other hand you see the TDM and dbx iEQ31 filters not quite achieving the 9dB target.
