Frequency Response


Would you use a sub if your speakers only went to 45Hz? Should you always use a sub?

1st, measure what you are actually getting in your space.

get one with threads for a tripod mount, set it up seated ear level at your listening spot. 

measure what you say?

this test cd has 29 individual 1/3 octave bands, 

 

you can measure as setup, alter the toe-in a bit, move in/out of corners ...

you will definitely learn something.

now compare what the speaker's specs say and what you have been/are getting. you might be surprised how much bass you think you have and how much bass your mic thinks you have.
