Equalizer with a Halo P5?

I'm looking to put an equalizer in my system.  Halo P5 doesn't have a tape/processor loop.

However it does have a Record Out and and HT Bypass In.  Can those be used for a loop?  I don't understand bypass much.

Hoping I don't need to upgrade my P5 as I like it otherwise.  Also looked at Emotiva XSP-1 which does have a processor loop but no DAC/Digital Inputs.

But I should also point out, you really don't want the room correction on when you are listening via headphones. :)

Ahhh, wrong combination of EQ and preamp I'm afraid.

The P5 doesn't have a tape/eq/processor loop (P7 does).

And the EQ is a 2 channel, without a sub output.

If you had an EQ with more outputs, or a pre with a tape loop you could do what you want.

I should say I'm not a big fan of using global EQ to solve a problem shared across 2 speakers.

If the user has this kind of problem, something like a miniDSP unit that can create it's own sub channel is better, and will give the user multiple EQ points. Global, each main, each sub.

Well what are you trying to EQ ? If you want to EQ the sub, put the EQ on the sub out.

If the main, put the EQ on the main. What is the problem?

Um, just put the EQ after your output but before your amp. :)

Easy peasy.

Bypass bypasses the gain/volume setting, so an external HT processor would do the volume function. This lets you use the p5 for music, and hte HT to feed another 3.1 or 5.1 channels.
