help balancing l/r volume on speakers

[roberts]

right kef Q55 speaker is stronger then the left. maybe a crossover or driver issue. but for now would like to reduce left sides volume level to balance things?

[Peter Verbeek]

Short answer: Install Peace equalizer and dial the balance knob to the left.

In the Configuration Editor you could do the following to all left channels (or take only the first 2 for your Keft Q55's):

Copy: L=0.89*L+0.11*R
Copy: R=0.78*R
Copy: RL=0.89*RL+0.11*RR
Copy: RR=0.78*RR
Copy: SL=0.89*SL+0.11*SR
Copy: SR=0.78*SR

The factors should be edited accordingly. Note that Equalizer APO doesn't have a balance command. Therefore Peace is easier. The above is just copied from it.

why install another equalizer when I have APO?

and why all this coding for a basic slider?

and why all this coding for a basic slider?

In the Configuration Editor of Equalizer APO there isn't a slider/rotary knob for balance hence the commands you need to do for balancing. Other features aren't available either like cross feeding so for those kind of feature you need a series of commands. Or you can try to find VST plugins for your needs. But using those have their disadvantages.

why install another equalizer when I have APO?

The Configuration Editor does have an equalizer so that's okay. And like the Configuration Editor Peace is an interface for Equalizer APO. However, it has so many more features. Of course it's up to you if you want to install this interface. You can stick with the rudimentary Configuration Editor which through commands is capable of many things. But it is a kind of coding which in Peace are knobs, sliders, etc.
