In Room Frequency Response Measurements


Is it better to have flat frequency response at the listening position or a smoothly rolled off treble? In your response indicate whether you listen in the near field or non-near field.

My target is a gentle downward tilt across the spectrum, maybe -4 dB or so at 15 kHz relative to 400 Hz. In-room measurements are usually dominated by room acoustics at any given microphone location below 400 Hz or so, and therefore are not reliable. I mostly listen in and design for the farfield, but farfield and nearfield measurements should be very similar. Imho.
