@docknow and @doctors11 -- I hadn’t considered a Martin Logan sub -- thanks for the tip. Glad to hear the room correction is seriously helpful. Interestingly, the balanced force sub has two drivers in opposition like the elac.
Subwoofers with room correction built in?
Who has experience, good or bad or whatever, with the built-in room correction/DSP/EQ that newer subwoofers (except REL) come with these days? I’m excited to try the system built into an ELAC sub 3070 that’s coming my way soon, but I want to be realistic.
Thanks.
Thanks.

From what I've read, you should run something like REW to verify the outcome. You may end up with better or worse results than setting the subs up manually using tools like REW. I wouldn't assume it's going to be better just because is done automatically. For home theatre, I run Anthem ARC, but don't really care what happens with auto correction. Personally, for music, I don't see the benefit because I'd use REW anyway. |
True room correction is not totally true even in a preamplifiers it Averages , Svs has several ANalog Devises 52 bit processors a great app , and you can fir free down load a subwoofer room correction program ,just buy a USB Mike , call Svs they can educate you on it to truly flatten your room acoustics 2 subs are by far better then one also. |
You didn't mention much about your overall system or if it is your first venture into adding a sub to your system? One of the most challenging projects of all. If this is your first attempt of adding one or not, room correction may be important but not the primary concern. So many factors to consider......room acoustics, placement of sub(s), etc. Seems that getting the basic performance should be of primary focus before fine tuning with room correction. You may want to seek advice from millercarbon who has lots of good advice about subs, especially the use of multiple subs. Please don't infer that I think you're new to subs but your original post didn't give many details. Not intended as an insult but there is quite a lengthy article about subs if you're patient enough to read it. http://www.soundoctor.com/whitepapers/subs.htm |
