Guest Jon@z Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 Hi Guys. Does anyone know if it's possible to have an EQ on SPV!!! 8) Since I could do with some PHAT BASS when on the road with my MP3's Cheers Jon@z
Guest madu Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 Nothing availible just yet. That was discussed in SmartAMP topic (have a search) and is not like easy to do.
Guest 15 yr old Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 i hope a add on like that would be made!!
Guest fraser Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 Perhaps the sound hardware already has some sort of tone control built in, like most modern soundcards? Anyone taken a look at the specs of it?
Guest Palindrome Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 I know it's a pain but you could alter the EQ on your PC, save it as a MP3 and then upit to your phone. Obviously you won't have any realtime control but if all you want is a PHAT BASS it will be easy to do.

Or with the inbuilt "Rock concert"-style speaker??? ;-)
Guest Palindrome Posted April 17, 2003 Report Posted April 17, 2003 I'm not saying it will improve the quality, just amplify the bass a bit. As long as you don't overdo it and distort the $2000 earphones or the "Rock concert"-style speaker there is an improvement in the EQ balance. Believe me, I've done it.
Guest Palindrome Posted April 17, 2003 Report Posted April 17, 2003 Get an audio editing program. I use cooledit but there must be other freeware audio apps out there. Simply load in your mp3, open up an equalizer filter and boost the bass a bit, bearing in mind not to overdo it so the headphones don't distort on the SPV. As I said it won't improve the quality but it will make up in some parts for the terrible lack of bass we suffer with the SPV headphones.
Guest madu Posted April 17, 2003 Report Posted April 17, 2003 YEP! The main problem to be honest is not that there's not enough PHAT BASS but that there' imbalance between the main two: bass/treble.... So it sounds like a tin...for $2000
Guest dhood Posted April 17, 2003 Report Posted April 17, 2003 I've found getting some decent headphones makes a huge difference. I've found these Sony MDR-EX70LP Fontopia ones are very good. Although you need to get a conversion cable from 2.5mm jack to 3.5mm. The minus point is that you loose the microphone that comes with the included hands-free stuff. It does give you excellent sound though.

It does give you excellent sound though. There were several topics about using other headphones! The best one seemed to me to solder new earpieces onto the original ones above the microphone, so you don't loose it and still get better headphones. I will try that with my second pair of spv headphones (which already broke somewhere at the top).
Guest Matt Kirby Posted April 18, 2003 Report Posted April 18, 2003 I have similar Sony headphones to the ones that dhood recomended, and I have soldered them onto the original SPV hands-free, and they work very well (they do give a better bass response compared to the standard 'phones). Obviously you need to be a bit of a dab hand with a soldering iron to get it to work! :wink:
