Hello everybody.

I have just bought a Behringer 1124 and have almost read the article about this equalizer. I have a SVS PB10 subwoofer and Dali Ikon 6 speakers. I have an old Yamaha 595 receiver. My fronts are set to small and bass is set to sub only.

I have tried to measure the response from the specific frequencies. Here is the graph:

This is without Behringer etc. Just measured in my room. I will try to make a new graph where the futon bed is turned into a sofa etc. so my things in the room is as it is when I watch movies and so on. I think that it might have an effect whether the futon is a sofa or a bed and so on.

Look at the brown one (the white was my old subwoofer). As you can see the response from 30-31Hz and above is pretty much higher than <30Hz. I have read in the article that you should only use the subwoofer when measuring. Why is that? Because when I turned of the subwoofer my fronts also played the bass-frequencies. I think I could measure it from app. 30Hz and above and it got louder the higher frequency I tried. I have been told that this is how the receivers do. Then, why should I turn off the fronts? The I don't get the correct curve because my fronts plays as well but this is just not measured if you only use the subwoofer.

How can I get the best result? Is it to lower the sound level from 30Hz and above to the level at 20-25Hz?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,
Martin
