JBL Charge 6 - neutral "studio" EQ (Patreon)
Content
I decided to also prepare a more neutral tuning for the Charge 6 with a similar sound signature that you would get from a neutral studio monitor pair from the same listening position.
Due to limited EQ influence, this is the closest I could achieve, I think the result is still pretty usable but the speaker must be standing rather free and elevated and it's probaboy not that suitable for low levels, as it will appear too dark, but it's still the most neutral sounding signature that was possible for me.
I also tried optimising the "universal EQ" as I had noticed some weird 5khz emphasis when listened outdoors off-axis, therefore I readjusted this area which should give a nicer overall sound. The old "unversal EQ" is renamed to Helsinki now, as tI need to pay that legendary speaker some hommage because the sound of the Helsinki was definitely the template for that EQ and should remain standing for its own.
As an omni purpose EQ I settled for the new "universal EQ" , which so far gave me the best results all around like indoors placed at the table or outdoors also from higher listening angles, and it works well for low levels without sounding off.
I added all these EQs to my collection. Now just someone please contact JBL so that they fix this weird cricket artefact which they introduced with several of their speaker updates recently. Also please someone tell them that it's useless to waste 1/3 of volume in the upper volume range so that you can hardly control the speaker at low levels...
