Level adjusting speaker drivers

Sometimes when I listen to various things it would be nice to turn up mid and Tweeter levels, and also bass too.

The speaker gets the signal and then it's split between the drivers by the crossover's, but what about the individual levels hitting these drivers. Would it be worthwhile to have a means to increase or reduce these levels?

Anyone ever done this and what tool did you use?

Which equalizer is best to choose?

Based on what you described, an actual equalizer, with 10 bands or more, is probably too much for your needs. If you don’t have a pre/integrated with built in tone controls already then a Schiit Loki is a middle of the road alternative:

Like any EQ though, you have to have a place in your audio chain to insert it.

This looks very interesting. Solution for biamping?

Does it control the levels or just the frequency ranges?

Hey OP,

 

It's as we discussed, a tone control, so it changes the levels of the sound but not directly the sound of each driver, which is a really good thing. :)

 You would need 1 of these devices for each speaker. It doesn't really address increasing voltage to each Driver as a result of using 2 amplifiers per speaker for biamping flexibility.
