Re: Subwoofer Tests - Fall 2007


Linkwitz showed a long time ago that any sealed system has an FR that drops at a predictable 6db rate. Using an EQ to flatten or even GAIN spL as the frequency drops is an easy electronic fix.
What's wrong with EQing a system to gain lower end, the distortion remains low even below 20Hz with the LMS.
If it's OK to use the BFD to adjust (EQ) for room anomolies or an active crossover or a Zobel, it should be good enough to EQ a subs lower end. It's the future for subs. Subs should be getting smaller not bigger.
