Re: My Graph


You could fairly easily equalize that response down to the blue target. You can even throw in some small boost (<= 5dB) and see if some of the dips respond. Sometimes they don't, so give that up if they're stubborn. Narrow sharp dips actually are fairly inaudible and should be left alone (the one at 50Hz shouldn't be touched).

The standard graph scale we use is vertical of 45dB-105dB and horizontal of 15Hz to 200Hz. If the subs bottom end is around 30Hz, I would use a horizontal of 25Hz-200Hz.

Once you have equalized the sub, then you add the mains and take a reading. This is when you look at the crossover reaction between the sub and mains and tweak the subs phase contol to get the best and smoothest transition. You can also use the receivers sub distance control a bit to adjust problems at the crossover (when phase doesn't work).
