Yeah, but I don't believe freq response graphs from ANY manufacturer
anyway :-) The thing with the 1006 is that i can't seem to tame the
peak to my taste with EQ. It still sounds a bit harsh even with the
treble heavily rolled off. Dunno what accounts for that.
Might be partly my mackie preamps which are not
exactly the gentlest-sounding things around :-)
