It depends on how it is used. If a rig is designed so 50 hz is 18 db down
from its plateau, and it gets blasted by +16 db or so at that freq. from an
eq. in an attempt to compensate, then that's forcing audio past various type
filters (dsp & analog), clippers, whatever and that can cause
problems--maybe not every time; it depends on the design but in my opinion
it is generally not a good idea.
let's say the rig by itself is flat from say 50 hz to 3.2 khz. then you
could use an eq. to give yourself a peak of -3 db at 80 hz, drop off just
below that, and a tapering off out to oh, 2.9 khz, and a drop off there. no
distortion; everything clean, rig isn't being forced to do anything it
normally can't do. the eq is working within the rig's limits. this is just
an example--it all depends on ur voice, how "wide" you want to be and all
that business. you might cut off your low audio at 200 hz or higher for
example (in that case you'd probably also have a narrower b/w rig anyway).
