I have been eyeballing a dbx dual channel 31 band eq to add to my gear. My thoughts are that it will help make the sound crisper, and a lot more balanced. I am just getting ideas for now, what are your thoughts?

Different times with different equipmentCurrently my setup consists of a numark mixdeck express, and two Peavey DM112, which do have a small built in digital eq, but im used to gear that allows me to manage a wider band of frequencies, besides just high, mid, and low.
It could also make things worse if you don't know what you're doing.
Keep in mind, most speakers have dsp built in and this wouldn't be beneficial in many cases. I can personally say that ever since I switched to my qsc k12's in 2009, and with every system since, I've never used an eq.
And a lot worse. The first rule of EQ's are they are there to take out far more often than they are to put in
DSP is for the speakers the EQ is for the room. There are very few rooms that are acoustically perfect enough that an EQ wouldn't make it better with proper use regardless of what speaker you are using. That being said you would be doing it more for you than anyone else because the average guest wouldn't know the difference anyway
I wouldn’t go past 15, who suggested 31? More doesn’t make it better & most powered speakers have DSP in them. If you want to improve your sound upgrading components in the signal path will improve the sound. Your sound will only sound as good as the worst component in the chain.
a good parametric will cost more than a solid dual 31-band, and leaves you with a limited number of adjustment opportunities.parametric eq makes a lot more sense.
not sure i agree with that one. It's like saying an apple is a better fruit than an orange. Each has it's strengths and they aren't identical.ya, it cost more, but it's much more effective, especially for eliminating feedback.
parametric eq makes a lot more sense.
if we are talking EQ for feedback issues and overall vocal clarity, you cannot run a global EQ. You have to route a EQ through the mic channel only, and in this case, I still strongly believe it is much easier to do it with a Parametric. You can really easily sweep across frequencies to find out the troubled ones.
