| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments I’ve posted pics of my room in other threads w.r.t. other questions/topics, but it might be helpful to show what I’m dealing with here. Front of room: Right side of room with entry door in middle of wall: Back of room: Left side of room:... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments The 35Hz spike is there regardless of speaker placement and LP - varies a tiny bit in magnitude, but not much. Room is 11.5’ wide by 15.5’ long and 8’ high. Probably a characteristic of the room. The 60Hz dip can be filled in at the expense of ... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments The issue is I have very limited adjustments on my sub. See pic below: So I can adjust phase and level, but nothing else. I was also having some issues getting REW to output to mains and sub at the same time. So when I played with phase using... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments Question for the group here. I tried, just for learning purposes, to use my SVS sub to see if it would help fill in that 60Hz dip. Here’s the FR curve. While it did fill in the 60Hz dip, it blew up the 35Hz peak more. The phase is set to 90 ... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments @kofibaffour while the front baffles are 37” from the front wall, I have cabinets in the front that gear is set on/in. So there’s very little space between cabinet front and speaker back as seen in pic. This means I can only open one side of cab... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments @lemonhaze Here's an alternate FR curve at 48" (bolded line) vs 60" (which was what was previously recommended to me as best of my alternatives). 48" reduces the 60Hz -11.5dB dip to -4.5dB, but the 180Hz dip is increased from -1dB to -3dB, a 300H... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments @erik_squires Thanks for spending the time to thoroughly explain those issues. I can easily turn off smoothing, but at some point, the curves get so crazily jagged (with no smoothing), that I'm not sure what I'm supposed to take from it. I haven... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments Here's the freq response curve with my listening position about 5ft/60" into the room, which is at the 1/3 point. Speaker baffles are at 37" from front wall (1/5) and 28" from side wall (1/5). No toe-in currently. 1/3 smoothing, normalized to... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments @erik_squires Thank you, I’ll try the AM Acoustics version. If I wanted to take time based plots, is that doable using reasonably priced tools, or is that a pro assessment job? I did move my speakers to the 1/5 position from front and side wal... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments @yyzsantabarbara Thanks for the explanation. I wrote to Mitch and we exchanged a couple of emails. He referred me to a device that could be inserted into a processor loop and interface with a computer to make it work on all sources, though it wa... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments Yes, I'm kind of leaning against considering that the room seems "good enough" now that I've tweaked listening and speaker position. To do a MiniDSP w/DIRAC Live experiment would be $500 minimum and to do a more sophisticated custom filter woul... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments Just wanted to update the thread about the results of playing with the listening position based on suggestions from forum members (on another forum). The suggestion was to follow the rule of odds in speaker and LP placement. This resulted in put... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments @yyzsantabarbara Where does Mitch's DSP insert into my system? I'm using one of either of two preamps: a late 80's/early 90's Mcintosh C35 or an '80's Conrad Johnson PV5. Typically, I'll have 2-3 analog inputs into the preamp (CD player, DAC, an... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments @rooze My room is a dedicated room for me, so there’s some flexibility in room treatments -within reason because I still don’t want it to look too wacky. But it also doubles as an Atmos HT room and 2-ch audio room. Because of the way my side and... | |
| Finding Local Resource who can Assess my Audio Room Is Mitch’s analysis a room only analysis, or it looks at where you’re placing your speakers as well? And if you change speakers (but not speaker location), do you have to re-do the analysis? If you’re doing mostly physical media, including vinyl... |
