Will this work to tame bass boom?


I have a pair of M.L. Prodigies, in a dedicated listening room, basement floor of my house.

I have two "bass traps" in each corner behind-flanking each speaker, but am still getting a fairly sizable "hump" around 200Hz.

My question; since this bump is right around the x-over region of the Prodigies, and is mostly being reporduced by the bass section, can I use something like a Tact digital room correction on JUST the bass sections of the Prodigies?

Any other suggestions?? (BTW - I've tried almost every possible set up, speaker placement, -3dB setting, etc.)

Thanks to any & all.

You could use a TacT RCS 2.0s and simply trace the target curve above 300hz. Then correction will only be applied to the bass region. But in the end, you might want to apply the TacT correction more completely.

I have Martin Logan CLS IIz's with 2 Vandersteen 2wq Subs. Bass modes were a major issue...so I picked up a TacT RCS 2.0s. It is an incredible product. You might want to search the archives of Tactaudiousergroup@yahoogroups.com to fully understand the nuances and complexity of TacT.

Another option for you would be the Rives Parc. People are very happy with this product, which is basically an equalizer to cut out bass modes. Unlike the TacT, which is working in the digital domain, the Parc functions entirely in the analog domain.

If you have questions about using TacT equipment with electostats feel free to contact me.
