Re: First Measurement. Ideas?


Speaker correction vs room correction is a sticky subject. When faced with a situation such as mine, small amounts of speaker correction is OK. It's about the ability to take great sounding mixes from the studio environment and have great sounding mixes in your car, home, computer, iPod.etc. I know the quality of these speakers is high, and yes, the curves in a chamber are very flat. So now I understand room curve vs the speaker curve!

I am mainly interested in the low end response, so BFD will be useful. Doug(EFT) reccomends it's use also. I'm going to try different speaker locations and listening positions to check for the effects of room modes on the REW graphs. It didn't appear that moving the mic faced towards the speaker or towards the ceiling made any huge change in frequency response. I would think moving forward and back in this small room could change freq. readings.

I do indeed have the calibration files for my mic loaded and have calibrated my sound card. I'll read the sticky as suggested and change my scaling. Thanks
