It's called the 'California Smile'
Authored by: Macabre on Sep 02, '06 07:04:09PM

I've been using it for over twenty years - only with all frequencies dropped about three notches and the pre-amp boosted almost one. It's a general setting that works for all music if you don't have a spectrum analyzer to check room acoustics. An EQ's purpose is to add or remove frequency to attempt to get a flat response from the environment, not from the speakers.

I have always wondered why EQ manufacturers don't include a California Smile pre-set when DJ's and sound engineers for bands have relied on it for years.
