Re: Full range EQ à la Française


Hello,
took me some time to get back to measuring and fix my levels problem.
So here are my observations :
First comparing L+R without sub (blue) , then L+R+Sub phase 180 as it was set (red) and L+R+S phase inverted (green).

We can see that Mains and sub meet together around 60Hz.
I noticed a big dip with phase 0, just before 90Hz.

Same one zoomed below 200Hz

Waterfall for the sub

My main speakers are supposed to go down 40Hz (that we can see on the first graph) but there was a matching problem with the sub.
After a little searching, i found out that changing the crossover filter on the bass manager from 60 to 120Hz would do the trick !

Sub phase 0 initial (dark green) and with modified crossover (light green)

Waterfall for the two measures

So, no eq yet, just trying to optimise with settings changes.
Next i'll see what i can do to work on higher frequencies by changing speakers position.

Regarding EQ, it seems obvious that i need a first filter around 40Hz for the sub.

What do you think ?
