Experienced only: What have you done with room correction?
I like to sometimes ask questions just to learn how others have experienced a technology and this is one of those times.
I’m genuinely curious about who has applied automatic room correction, and what your experience was? Did it turn your Monitor Audios into Martin Logans? Your Martin Logans into Wilsons? 😀
Good and bad, but experienced only please!
For the record, I use it for HT now and I’m meh. I had much better luck with manually (with tools) adjusting my miniDSP. Also, I'm absolutely not looking to buy anything, I just want to read about your experiences because it is fun.
I use the "artificial Ficus Tree" room correction technology. Depending on your room size, but 1 to 2 dozen 6' Artificial Ficus trees and scatter them around the room behind and besides the speakers, behind the speakers, behind the listening position and in the corners. It's a time proven technique to take care of room anomalies. And much cheaper and better sounding than active solutions.

@bpoletti I’ve heard live ficus trees produce a more natural sound. Heh heh. |
I am deeply impressed by the technology. 🙂 |
Interesting discussion and the tech is tempting to try out. One question; doesn’t the DSP do it’s own A/D and D/A conversion? After spending a relatively large sum on a DAC, it seems counterproductive to have the signal reconverted twice more downstream by a much lower cost device… am I off-base here? |
