Cool... In a disturbing way.

Hey, is that what they do when the set up a soundsystem for a concert?

In college, they used to shut the gym down and "set up" the sound
system... I assumed they were sweeping the PA through the sound
spectrum at a set volume, then based on the amount of sound absorbed at
each frequency, they set the EQ to compensate for the room... Is that
what you're talking about?
