Re: Any hope for my poor room?


Well there are a few issues.

You simply cannot use the Radio Shack meter to do full range measurements. It's for sub only. Ignore any readings past a few KHz....

You would only equalize the low frequencies. The upper frequencies respond to room treatment only. Sometimes a broadband equalizer can be used (such a tone controls) for upper frequencies. You wouldn't pass your mains through an inexpensive parametric eq like a FBQ.

You may as well use a horizontal axis that starts at about 15Hz. Anything below that in this case would be meaningless.

Hard to say what the room response is like until you get a better mic (i.e. ECM8000).

You didn't mention your speakers and sub type.
