    REW FR measurement for IEM, help needed

    Hi everyone, I have read already starter guides about how to measure the FR for IEMs and ordered the equipment for that purpose. However, many things remain unclear to me. I succeeded (partially maybe...) with my first FR measurements in REW but somehow the lower end seems to be off when...

    I'm in for chasing the last few things I could do better! Any (niche) things I could take a look at and optimize?

    My Questions and a link to my measurements are at the end of this comment. I've got a 2nd SVS SB-2000 today for my small, well sealed room (4.5m x 2.7m x 2.5m) - It sounds amazing, but now I'm in for chasing the last few things I could do better just for the fun of understanding new things and...

    Why there is a difference in Frequency Shape (Bass & Lows) between music genres?

    I have my Studio Monitors with a Subwoofer calibrated for the flat frequency response + a little bit of personal taste. I have been listening to different genres of music and I have been jumping between Electronic and Rock/Metal music. While I have been listening Electronic Music I haven't seen...

    Speakers vs Headphones for flat response

    Hi, I was looking to buy a my first 2.1 system (+Wiim for EQ) but after researching for weeks, does it even make sense to buy speakers if you want a flat frequency response? Ignoring the question of what is a flat target curve, is it even possible to hit any curve below 500hz with the way room...

    Is there a rough response you should target for music?

    Just a few months ago I bought a pair of JBL LSR305 studio monitors, and they sound amazing. Everything is super detailed and there's no distortion. But they seem to be too bright (likely due to room reflections) for my taste and don't sound as pleasant as I'd like them to. Is there a frequency...

    What is the mechanical reason for this?

    Open vs closed headphones differences after equalization?

    Hello everyone! Amirm is often commenting in his headphone reviews about how equalizing a headphone changes its spacial qualities; suggesting that the perception of space/soundstage is importantly dependent on frequency response. A question comes to my mind. Let's assume two almost identical...

    a nature of Spendor D9.2 or a QC failure?

    The frequency response in this D9.2 review looks weird. It is also different from the frequency response in magazine reviews of the previous version D9. The high is much elevated. Frekvenční odezva - v ose (červená) a pod úhlem 30° (černá) (Bing translation: Frequency Response - Axis (Red)...

    What is the target frequency response/curve of a well treated room?

    Hi. I have seen many posts and articles where they show how to analyze and get flat response curves for speakers. However, none of them show how the frequency response of a well treated room looks like. Then I found this video: And from what I understand is that, flat frequency response studio...

    Different cables, different measurements?

    So, I finally have a proof?? I finally have the ultimate answer to the ultimate question?? (Go to bold for the resume) Hi, everyone, since I'm an engineer i don't really believed how a cable might affect sound, i mean, YES there are all types of cables and some are for specific tasks, such as...

    Can you tell which headphone is more compliant to Harman Research?

    Below you can see two raw FR graphs of two separate headphones, measured with the GRAS measurement rig that was used in the preference research, plotted together with Harman AE/OE target (green) alongside the error curve (red) showing how much they deviate from the target for each frequency...

    Do untreated rooms look like this?

    Hi, I am currently planning my studio, my room is 18 m2 and the setup is on the shorter wall. The room is reasonably symmetrical except for the windows, but there are none at the first reflection points or backwall. I made the first measurements in different positions and distances of the...

    Multi tone speaker response

    Is there a measure of a speakers ability to play multiple tones at once? My understanding is that FR data is generated by sweeping through frequencies, only asking the speaker to produce one frequency at any given time. Is this correct? To me, the ability of a driver to produce multiple...

    What does “Frequency range Free Field” mean and what does it measure?

    I just bought a pair of KEF Q950’s and was wondering what the meaning of the “Frequency range Free Field” specification is. It says it is 38Hz for these speakers in the manual. Here is a link to the manual: https://assets.kef.com/uploads/cm/Q_Series_Manual_EN.pdf It also says in parentheses...
