Re: PC-Ultra 13 In room response


This is a sub + mains test. I just cut the sweep at 400hz because I've done my testing on the mains. They do need some work, but I was thinking of room treatment and not EQ for the mains. The Average DB level was set by REQ at 75db, so My sub is just about even with the overall response of the mains. Here is a link to a full 20hz-20khz sweep of my room with my old sub and my current mains.

I spoke with a few acoustic engineers, and while a flat response is ideal, a small hump in the 100hz-300hz range can give a "Full" sound to Kick-Drums, and Bass guitar. A totally flat response can sometimes sound "thin" to some ears.

The dip from 1k to 3k is most likely caused by my acoustic ceiling tiles. The acoustic Engineer said maybe I should replace the tiles with wood instead, and then use acoustic absorption panels to even out the response.

As always, my home theater is a work in progress, so the suggestions are very very helpful!
