Firstly, It’d be helpful to have a PEQ On/Off button immediately available at all times instead of having to dive into a sub-sub-menu.
It’d also be great to have a gain setting on the PEQ page. When EQ is set to anything above +0 you’ll inevitably get clipping. It’s an absolute pain to have to go to the volume limiter setting every time to change that to match the PEQ setting you’ve just selected.
And thirdly, it’d be very helpful if, as soon as you turn on, you’re asked which pre-saved PEQ you want to use (With the volume limiter included in that setting, as above). At the moment I have three settings: for my main speakers, for a pair of Sennheiser headphones, and for a pair of Beyerdynamic headphones. Each time I sit down I need to dig into a sub menu to choose which I’m using. Obviously, when Room Correction appears, and when the Ultra arrives with a sub out, incorporating these into the facility would be useful.
Just think for a second. With the Ultra you might usually have room correction, plus a bit of EQ for your speakers, for which you’ll also need to set a volume limit, plus a crossover diverting LF to the sub. Now, if you have a pair of headphones you’ll need to go to one page to change the EQ to that required by your headphones, a second page to turn room correction off, a third to turn the subwoofer off, and a fourth to change the volume limiter. Repeat when you sit down to listen to your speakers. That’s four separate sub menus you’ll need to go into when you swap between speakers and headphones.
The only down-side might be that this option needs to be made who only uses one system, having to needlessly choose the same set up every time, but you could include the facility to turn this option-choice on or off.
Thanks for listening.
