| Room Acoustics, minimal treatment and measurements OP: And I told you not to claim you had no bass problems until we got to them... 😂 Once you get your woofers pumping we may have to revisit that issue. | |
| Any one measured the EMI/RFI attenuation performance of audiophile power conditioners? Want to point out that series mode power conditioners are essentially low pass filters that start working ~ 3 kHz. True for ZeroSurge and Furman with SMP while AFAIK, RFI filters usually start in the 10s of kilohertz. This is why I always recommen... | |
| Room Acoustics, minimal treatment and measurements OP: First, you are going to be very glad of the treatment, but now that I see the measurements and the specs, I think your woofers are not working at all. You may be missing the straps that connect the woofer to the 7" drivers. Based on specs, ... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers I think the beam will be more or less OK. It’s too close to your head to reflect directly, but the ceiling above your head is ripe for treatment. One radical listening approach is to toe the speakers in so they cross in front of your head. This m... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers OP: Reputable makers like GIK and ATS (there’s a third brand that is often recommended to me which I’ve forgotten, but not ASC) have the absorption coefficients listed in Sabines or something like that. More Sabines = more absorption. Also, give... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers Well, if I interpret this correctly it's exactly what we expected. When you go looking for room treatments you want to focus on panels that are most effective from 700Hz upwards. This should be (if my memory is correct) mostly the 2" type of pan... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers Next morning he said it was like being in a zoo enclosure.  Well, that's a little bit different. Your brain isn't trying to separate the snoring from the words in this case, or the reflections from the music, but if you were trying to pick ... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers @mijostyn - That sounds like you are replying to something I said, but I'm not sure what that was. | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers ......however, get this.....in doing a REW frequency sweep at the seated position, there was NO change in bass room frequency response! Yet, you can easily hear maybe 15% more "bass"!! I did mention that the frequency response measurements woul... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers OP:  Don’t go buying OmniMic because I use it. REW had similar capabilities, you just have to check the settings when you do a sinusoidal sweep. There’s usually some parameter that say "stop listening after x milliseconds" I’m just not familiar... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers The only caveat is that bass does not respond to room treatment. Kind of, sort of.... All my suggestions so far have been subtractive. That is, to remove sounds in the room. If you only subtract mid-treble then your balance shifts to the ba... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers Frequency tests show 130hz and lower just drops like a stone. Example : 1000hz is at -24db, and 80hz is at -44db at the nominal listening levels. Well, that does sound bad, but use gated measurements instead of sinusoidal pink noise. This wi... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers Ya just wanna jinx things, don'tcha?!?! Â Ahem, I'm not the one who declared there were no bass problems... that's exactly when the jinx happened! | |
| Anthem AVM 60 full range front and sub doesn't work See if you have separate crossovers for your L/R and your subwoofer. If so, set the L/R crossover "frequency" to off, and then set the sub crossover frequency to whatever value you'd like. | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers  He's insanely lucky that he has NO true oddities or issues like bass booms that can be very difficult to remedy.  Don't be so sure, yet. You can't hear bass problems because you can't hear bass. Once the mid-treble issues are dealt with t... |
