At the moment, all the controls on the back of the monitors are set to zero. When I reduce the 40Hz region by 10 dB on the RME, the change is immediately reflected in my measurements with the UMIK/REW. This confirms that there’s no conflicting adjustment within my system. The strange behavior...

It's physically impossible for the WiiM/iPhone combo to bypass the settings on the DAC. The WiiM is connected to the RME via a coaxial cable, and the RME is connected to the Neumanns via XLR cables. WiiM cannot override the RME settings, just as it cannot override any settings adjusted on the...

My latest measurement was done using a UMIK and REW, while my previous measurement was done with an iPhone 15 Pro and WiiM. Both setups revealed room modes in the same frequency region. The WiiM/iPhone combination showed a boost of approximately +14 dB at 40Hz and +7 dB at 80Hz, which closely...

I have the HD650 and listen EQued through Roon on the latest MacBook Pro, which has an outstanding headphone output that even adjusts to the sensitivity of the connected headphones. I always hear about planar bass - something I must try someday.

I have a UMIK and took measurements from different positions on my sofa. Here are my results. On my RME DAC, I applied the following EQ settings: 40Hz: -12dB, Q2.0 79Hz: -9dB, Q3.0 I also make bass adjustments through the RME when needed, setting it at 40Hz, Q1.5. Additionally, I use the RME’s...

Theres nothing unusual about this. Callas received the Pioneer SA-508 for testing before its official release. It is a well-known fact ;)

Hello Sir, Here’s the story, In 2013, I bought the ATC SCM11. Initially, I paired them with the ATC SIA2 amplifier, but I got Electrocompaniet ECI 5 integrated soon after. Then, I moved on to the ATC SCM40 actives, which I ran with various preamps, DACs, and streamers. Back then, I fell into...

I love your setup and the room! The speakers blend in seamlessly, and everything looks clean and tidy—well done. However, it seems the amplifier might lack proper ventilation? Also, I agree that replacing the clock with a large on-wall screen would be a great upgrade. I’m assuming you built...

Haha, I’ll pick up a second-hand UMIK after the New Year and do it properly. It doesn’t feel like I actually have that much excess bass, so it must be something to do with the phone. I’ll report back once I have a proper mic.

No, I don’t have a subwoofer. I just re-ran the test and ended up adjusting the bass on the back of the Neumanns all the way down to -6dB. On top of that, I applied -8dB at 40Hz and -5dB at 80Hz using the RME. Despite these adjustments, the WiiM/iPhone combination is still showing a +10dB peak...

It is technically not possible. The beauty of the RME’s EQ lies in its ability to allow you to input EQ values and then re-measure with the adjusted settings applied, since it is an independent device and Wiim cannot overwrite any of its settings. I’ve successfully done this in the past with...

I will repeat the test tomorrow, but as far as I remember, the biggest spike was around +10 dB.

What speakers are you using?

I manually entered the values into the RME, and yes, it does have its own PEQ. The second reading should be completely different, as specific frequencies were adjusted by -10dB, -7dB, -4dB, and -7 dB. After these corrections, the bass was largely gone from the Neumanns. Anyway, I went back to...

I conducted the measurements today using the following setup: WiiM Pro Plus connected to an RME ADI-2 DAC, which feeds into Neumanns KH150. I used an iPhone 15 Pro Max as the microphone, positioned in my regular listening spot. These are measurements, taken with all corrections on the RME and at...

This is helpful, thank you.

I don't understand your instructions. Are you telling me that I should connect the iPhone to the Mac (via cable?), run the Wiim app on the Mac, and use the iPhone as a microphone? The Wiim has a built-in microphone. Could this one be used instead?
