NW-A1000 Equalizer Problem

[stargazer_tom1]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone else out there is having eq problems with their a1000/a3000.The problem being the fact that when i use my eq the volume drops heaps even though the volume on the player stays the same. Therefore when i use the eq, max volume is lower then when i have the player on max volume without the eq on? The sound pressure therfore drops when i turn my eq on....is this normal? The player has done this since i brought it over a year ago

Thanks heaps,

i was also wondering if their is a way to change the bass frequency of the eq to say 60hz or something using the service manual?

thanks again guys,

any help will be appreciated

I cant believe no-one has heard of this problem??? is it just unique to me then....

If anyone has any ideas please get back.....ive done the volume unlock so its not that......

If you alter the higher frequecies this will affect volume. If you turn the higher frequices up then percieved volume will also increase, and if you turn the higher frequencies down then percieved volume will decrease. This has nothing to do with the walkman, but the way your ear amplifies sounds of certain frequencies.

Just a thought???

Hi,

Thanks for the reply i understand what u mean but i should clarify if i have the eq off and i turn it on too custom 1 which is flat their is a drop in spl only a slight one its annoying as i have 32ohm headphones and i dont use a dedicated amp so i need the volume close to max on the player but when i wanna add more bass etc the volume drops further as i have to turn the eq on??

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks
