Re: New to the Shack, my first BFD graph :)


I tried using the REW using my laptop but had a very hard time setting it up and getting everything working. I got alot of feedback from the RS meter as well. It looks like an amazing program, just, over my head. I kinda enjoy doing it the old fashion way, kinda sick eh?

Theres only a 3dB difference during those two variances so I'm not too worried about them. I got today off so I'm gonna play around a bit more to get it purely flat. I just wish I could do a little more below 20Hz, but for a sealed box, I'm very happy.

Here's my current filter settings:
Freq. Band. Gain
20 ---- 20 ---- +7
40 (-4) -- 20 - -6
50 ---- 3 ---- -5
63 ---- 4 ---- +16
80 ---- 2 ---- +11

Sounds amazing, no more having to lower the sub output when anything in the 30's hits!
Brucek, you've done a great job with the material you've written. Nice to see your active on the boards aswell, good stuff.

Gard, I've tried finding the culprit of the few dips in the upper range. Not much luck. Doors, windows etc... Although it does seem to be consistently flat around the room now. I metered it along the wall parallel to the sub and theres some loss, but not more than a few Db. My sub would have no problem with the extra gain as I don't push the sub hard at all. What did you mean by trouble??
