What kind of cards you got .. shove an analog or AES in slot 3 and insert them (using real EQ's). For monitors, I doubt a parametric is going to do you much good.
A parametric EQ can be more useful for elimination feedback and properly EQ'ing monitors. How often does a ring lie on the exact middle of a 1/3 octave? I think it would be more effective to zero in on the frequency so the sound isn't too drastically affected.
logical solution? How about what sounds good, and keeps things managable? Here's my EQ from one of my wedges this weekend (1x15" + 2" horn) (outdoor, with a roof)
You're not going to get that on a 4 band parametric.
That's the internal EQ's on the Yamaha DM2000 I've done bigger cuts than that.
It don't matter how far you have to move a fader. You'll notice there's a mode there where you can turn the EQ into a -24db/band range. Never had to use it, but cool to know it's there!
I got 6 of them built into the console (along with 4 band fully parametric on each output) ... never have problems with them.
