Is this better?
REW documentation says its not really useful for domestic setups. Here it is and again I don't know how to interpret this:I think that rt60 might be more useful for your room decay problems, easier to understand, it's in rew.
Crap, sorry thats what i had it at and REW reset it (or i did it inadvertently).Ok getting there thanks Now set your horizontal axis range to 20 Hz - 20 KHz.
Thank youNice
To my eyes, that doesn't look too bad.
The bass is already reasonably smooth IMHO. That's not just with the Rhythmik subs set to operate 50 - 250Hz, is it? I.e. are you also using the REL for sub-50Hz for this measurement?
The brightness you're hearing is possibly a result of the peak at around 3-4 KHz. It's hard to tell what's causing that but my guess is it's the speakers themselves. Do the speakers normally sound bright to you?
Thank you
The measurements were taken without the REL. No I've never found these speakers too bright. I am fairly certain it is due to the wooden panels especially behind the listening position. This is why I am eager to get the panels and measure again.
Are the Rhythmik subs set to produce only 50Hz - 250Hz?
It seems there's a lot of energy below 50Hz on that graph.
There are two different configs I have tried:
1. Rythmiks set to 200 Hz and below. No REL.
2. Rythmiks set to 50-250 Hz with REL crossing in at 50 Hz.
For the measurements, I was using #1 above. I haven't taken any measurements with #2 yet. I'll wait for the panels and measure before & after.
Is there a way to apply the filters in REW and take measurements again? This would serve as a good A/B test and make sure the plots i am generating are valid (as in A should show the problems and B should show the correction).
I'm not sure what you mean by "apply the filters in REW"?
This is the usual high level workflow:
1. Take measurements
2. Have REW generate filters
3. Plug in the filters wherever you can (Roon in my case)
4. Play music and enjoy
What I would like is a step 2.1: Plug the filters in REW, re-measure and visually validate the result from the graphs.
Nevermind, its off-topic anyway.I'm not familiar enough with REW - sorry! Do you mean it is generating filters for the subwoofer crossover? Or EQ filters for the total system frequency response?
One quick suggestion: have you tried bumping up the subs by a few dB? Does it still sound bright after you do that?
