I have gone through all the steps to measure my setup properly, including buying an ECM8000 mic and a Novation Speedio external sound... card? unit? Whatever. It seems to give a good frequency response even uncalibrated anyway (but I have of course applied calibration).
I have a setup consisting of B&W XT2 front speakers (satellite), roof mounted due to various reasons, and a Rel Storm sub in one of the front corners. The room is large, 6.5 x 6m with openings at the back towards kitchen and dining area, giving a total of approx 60 square metres. The sub corner is 2 metres to the left of the left speaker.
My initial goals with this exercise are:
- Integrate the sub with the XT2 speakers
- Try to get a good flat subwoofer response
- See if I need to get a bigger subwoofer
Since this is our living room, there are limitations in what I can do to the room, but I thought I'd give it a try and see what comes up.
Now, I'm a bit curious as to what to do now with the great program. The graphs look pretty and all but I need some pointers to what direction I should go - what would my next steps be? Also, I'd love to hear any comments regarding my frequency response - is there hope?
The graph is measured from the right speaker + subwoofer, cutoff frequency in my processor at 80Hz. Mic pointing upwards, full range signal used, calibrated at 75dB, 1/3 octave smoothing applied.
Any comments most appreciated!
Oh well, here's the room as well....
(Edit: Ignore the stand-mounted speakers at front, the mic is placed in the sofa and it's those black things in the roof that's measured)
