I would probably increase my measurement volume up so that my response line is higher up on the graph. |
Can this be done either way with the same end result? For example,
A) Increase the measurement volume to fit the house curve, make filter adjustments, adjust the trim control on the amp or receiver to equalize the volume of the speakers (i.e. - calibrate the system at 75 dB or 80 dB).
B) Use the Target Level control to move the house curve to fit the originally measured response, make filter adjustments, adjust the trim control on the amp or receiver to equalize the volume of the speakers (i.e. - calibrate the system at 75 dB or 80 dB).
I ask this in case there would be issues beyond my understanding and secondly to conform with the help files in REW. I would think it would be easiest if there was a set process to implement house curves in REW shown in the help files to aid new users. Creating and importing the house curves is easy and well explained. The more difficult issue in my opinion is how to properly implement the house curve.
The REW help indicates that a user should calibrate at 75 dB. If this measurement should be done at 80 or 85 dB, the help file should be changed. While I'm getting to better understand REW, I'm trying to help make the whole process easier for the next person by trying to indentify the areas where I had trouble or didn't understand why something was done in a certain way.

It also want hurt to boost part of an area that was cut. You are ultimately not boosting your response in this case... only fine tuning the cut. |
Wow - I didn't realize that was the case. Perhaps this tidbit of information can also be added to the help files in REW as it is an extremely beneficial piece of knowledge. I had read all these things about not boosting frequency response for a variety of reasons and had not realized that a boost could be properly used in this circumstance (i.e. - boosting an area of frequency that had been cut to a point no higher than it had started.)
Great information! It'll be nice to get back into REW and do some more tweaking in learning. What a powerful tool and awesome program!
