I can only assume that your system sounds as good as it looks?! I think it sounds fantastic, and the frequency response graph is but one part of what makes it special.

There's a room mode at 40Hz, but otherwise it's essentially flat at the listening position. I was using Dirac for bass correction for a while but now using convolver correction in foobar / JRiver.

jamiebosco Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Here's my 5-200Hz bass response with dual Seaton Submersive's with no smoothing applied And here's my 20Hz to 20KHz frequency Response with 1/6Oct. smoothing applied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioBrian Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 This thread might be one place where wrinkles are appreciated more than nice curves hey, but even so, we need more info to be able to engage. One channel, two channels? Mic at listening position? Measurement gear and software used? Speaker details? Otherwise it's just more nice curves on the internet.

Are you applying digital room EQ (with measurements at listening position) all the way up to 20kHz? Edited April 7, 2019 by Music2496 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the correction goes to 16khz but there's virtually no adjustment over 5khz. Mixed fir , iir and impulse correction.

I always prefer nice curves over wrinkles lol Centre channel + dual subs for the 20Hz -20Khz Just the dual subs for the bass response (REW output 4 - LFE channel) Average of main 2 seating positions Mini-DSP Umik-1 (individually calibrated by Cross Spectrum Labs down to 5Hz) + REW + Windows7 Laptop Speakers are Power Sound Audio MTM-210 for LCR and MT-110 for surrounds. https://www.powersoundaudio.com/collections/speakers/products/mtm-210 https://www.powersoundaudio.com/collections/speakers/products/mt-110 Subwoofers are Seaton SubMersives https://seatonsound.net/product/submersivehp/ AVR is Denon 4311ci with Audyssey XT32 EQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixed fir , iir and impulse correction. Regarding digital room EQ (not speaker correction), had you tried just limiting this DSP to schroeder frequency (i.e. under 200/300/500/whatever Hz) and you didn't like resulting SQ? Does your DSP box allow limiting DSP to custom range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your DSP box allow limiting DSP to custom range? Yes, complete control over extent, however I have a mid-range peak that needs to be taken care of. The Dspeaker I find is intentionally very light on with anything past 500Hz anyway. Its default settings are very good. I manually add more control to the midrange.

Of course my point was - if we are all measuring different things and not revealing the special juice, we can't fill our notebooks with gold.

Of course my point was - if we are all measuring different things and not revealing the special juice, we can't fill our notebooks with gold. I was wondering about what is the best way to show a full sweep and I went with @andyr's suggestion of 1/12 smoothing. It is a pretty good mid point between too much smoothing and too little. Another one I like available on REW is variable which is unsmoothed up to about 200hz and then gets some pretty serious smoothing so you can see the trend in the higher part of the sweep. Here is mine below again with 1/6 , 1/12 and var curves. Taken at listening position, both speakers, no DSP, umik-1 with cal file on REW. speakers are Duntech Princess. Speaker position is too close to the back wall due to it being a shared space. Can we agree on a "standard" to make interpretation and comparison simpler? Also the other variable is the number of db's on the y scale, more makes the curve smoother but I think if you are looking for feedback than a bit more detail might be good. I put forward that the standard curve should be type "variable" and 60-70db range on the y axis. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
