Not necessarily

I have a customer who has a Meridian processor that has 60 programmable digital filters for smoothing out the region below 250 Hz. When he was using a single subwoofer, he had the system professionally calibrated and was using 16 of the available digital filters.

When he switched to a distributed multisub system (the Swarm), he reset everything to flat and had the technician come in again to re-calibrate the Meridian processor. THE ONLY ADJUSTMENT NEEDED WAS TO THE LEVEL. None of the digital filters were needed for the Swarm, its native in-room response was that smooth. The technician said he'd never seen anything like it.

And because of the greatly reduced spatial variation of a distributed multisub system, this smoothness holds up pretty much throughout the room. This is especially valuable for a recording studio where one of the critical roles of the sound system is "impress the client" - namely the band that is paying you - and so the "sweet spot" has to include anyone standing or sitting in the room.

That being said, the Swarm does use an amp that has a single channel of parametric EQ built in, just in case it's needed.

Me being a dealer makes you leery?? It gets worse... I'm a manufacturer too.
