Re: Repositioned sub and started to re-EQ


Mike,

Before I knew about calibration files for the ratshack meter and before I knew about REW, I used Sonnies test tones and burned a disk and manually plotted a response in Excel. This was when the SPL meter was new out of the box. I had been aiming for a target level of 80db!

As far as my ears are concerned, "untamed" feels too boomy at the lower levels. Tamed and the sweep levels feel about even, but perhaps a little flat at the lower end.

EDIT, just as a note, I remember when I did the manual 1hz test tones, the sub was significantly louder to my ears over the 20 - 35 range, and borne out by the SPL readings.
