    Hello.
    I have a JVC RX-5052S receiver and Altus 75 speakers.
    And I need advice on how to set the equalizer as best as possible to get the best sound from these loudspeakers. I tried a few combinations by myself, but I am not satisfied with anything. I know that the equipment does not fit well together and neither the Altus nor the JVC can sin with the bass. connected as fronts. Room 10m2.
    There are three sources of sound:
    CD: JVC XL-V174
    Deck: JVC TD-W208
    DVD: Manta 032 Lord Pro Logic II

    Here are the EQ values:

    1KHZ scale from -8 to +8
    4KHZ scale from -8 to +8
    16KHZ scale from -8 to +8
    63HZ scale from -8 to +8
    250HZ scale from -8 to +8

    I have other "Pro Logic" functions turned off.

    I hope that someone will advise at least to some extent how these values should be set.

    If I made a mistake in the department, I apologize, I do not contribute much here.

    Start by resetting everything and then experiment to see what you like. You have definitely mistaken the values - already 63 kHz is much higher than a human can hear, 250 kHz is an absurd frequency when it comes to determining sound parameters ...

    As mentioned above, I have tried several combinations with no results, so I wrote here.

    In fact, I made a mistake with 63 and 250, I didn't need to add "kilo", as I checked now there is only HZ. Corrected.

    First of all - the manual, page 21 and check how you set up the speakers you have connected. Small or Large? This is probably a kind of a high-pass filter and if you set it incorrectly, "you won't sin with bass". On page 22, you probably have a setting for this filter (Crossover frequency), as I understand it, for Small speakers. Experiment with these settings. Large speakers are full frequency. The filter set to no higher than 80 Hz and the Small setting will give acceptable, but not so deep bass. The higher filter is no longer a bass but "smashing" and is used when the speakers do not work (it is best to have a subwoofer and redirect low frequencies to it). Experiment with the equalizer set to zero, only after you have cleaned up the low-frequency filter, start playing with the EQ.

    Depending on the parameters of the speakers, amplifier and preferences, the effect may be different, but I will tell you how I listen (similar setting on both headphones and towers in both cards: Asus Xonar DS and Asus Xonar U1 - two sound sources - 5 sound devices - similar setting - I conclude that there is something universal about it, I only set the EQ in the card's firmware).

    63 Hz near zero - slightly raised or lowered depending on the preferences and capabilities of the speakers.
    250 Hz - Lower a little less than the 63 Hz setting.
    1kHz - zero or slightly higher if you like vocals and want to hear more or less all the sounds in a given track, slightly below zero if you want to emphasize low and high tones. I have slightly raised.
    4 kHz - as in the case of 1 kHz - a matter of liking. I am a bit above zero.
    16 kHz - this setting will depend on the speaker itself and your preferences. I have zero at home, sometimes slightly below when I listen louder on the headphones.

    This is so:
    1. Dependent on equipment and room.
    2. Subjective.
    that I found this advice with EQ pointless but you wanted to have it :-) I suspect, however, that the problem lies in the filter settings.

    Now I read in the manual that (I think) it will be best when I apply these settings:
    Large.
    Cross 120HZ. Because that's how I understood it from the manual "When a cone speaker with dimensions of 8 / 9cm. Even though I will consider this function.
    The LFE ATT-0dB setting is reported to be set to -10dB only when the bass is distorted.
    Midnight Off
    The size of the room is rather "Small", because it is only 10m2. The columns are placed quite close to each other, they are on the wall with a depth of approx. 2m, of which 1.3m is taken by a table and a cupboard, so everything is "pressed in", but I will try to better arrange them.

    Tomorrow I will select these settings and only then will start to play with the EQ tuning. At the beginning I think that I will check the suggestion given by helmud.
    Previously, I had no complaints about the sound, but recently I often use the Samsung HT-DB750 home theater and therefore I have such mixed feelings about the sound from my set.
    Later I am going to start soundproofing the loudspeakers and adding the appropriate length of the bronze tube.

    btw. Such a small curiosity, for some time I had only one loudspeaker, it was in the same setting as it is now, and yet I have the impression that the sound was much better, the only thing that has changed is the suspension because the previous one was made of rubber, now there is foam.

    If you set Large to Crossover, it probably will be unavailable (OFF cannot be changed).

    So it was, and Option Large was unavailable.

    I set it up as I wrote, and with the EQ settings I took into account your settings. The sound immediately improved.
    I also soundproofed the loudspeakers (2-3 cm thick sponge) and added Br tubes (10cm long, PVC), the sound has also changed. In my spare time I am going to place the loudspeakers well somehow.

    I noticed a small problem (?). One loudspeaker has a smaller bass, the same amount of noise reduction and the same amount of noise in both loudspeakers, but one has lower bass, it was already like that. that one loudspeaker is the export version (HGS) and is from the '83 - this sounds better, and the other is the domestic version from the '85 and this one has less bass. And there is one change in the crossover, in the domestic version the capacitor from GDM / GDWT is foil and in the HGS version it is made of aluminum (I don't know exactly what it is called), but it doesn't really affect the quality of the bass.

    Check if the speakers are in phase (+ and - in agreement). Altuses are most efficient at 1kHz and around 4kHz. You can try to squeeze a little over there. I would also reduce 250 Hz by a few dB, but you have to experiment. It's a good idea to set the switch to "-" with the tweeter. In general, try to cut out with a concealer rather than bump up. The equalizer itself has only 5 points, which makes a good setting impossible. It is also true that the Altus are weak loudspeakers ...

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around optimizing the equalizer settings for a JVC RX-5052S receiver paired with Altus 75 speakers to enhance sound quality across three audio sources: JVC XL-V174 CD player, JVC TD-W208 deck, and Manta 032 Lord Pro Logic II DVD player. Initial attempts at setting the equalizer yielded unsatisfactory results, prompting users to suggest resetting settings and experimenting with configurations. Key recommendations include verifying speaker size settings (Large vs. Small), adjusting crossover frequencies (ideally around 80-120 Hz), and ensuring speakers are in phase. Users noted improvements after adjusting settings and soundproofing speakers. Additionally, differences in bass response between two Altus speakers were discussed, attributed to variations in their design and components.
