    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...

    Why do planar headphones often have low reaching mostly linear bass while dynamic drivers often have heavy roll-off?

    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...

    JBL 104 BT initial measurements and EQ

    Following recent discussions with helpful members of this board, and finding the Youtube videos of Julian Krause very informative, I have concluded the preliminary investigation and equalisation/correction of my JBL 104 BT desktop monitors. My methodology was to purchase and install a...

    An attemp to make subjective and objective analysis of Bowers&Wilkins 685 S1 bookshelf speakers

    Hello ASR, this is my first attempt posting something here, so I'm sorry in advance for mistakes that I could made. English isn't my primary language so I'll try keeping things as clear as possible. I've been in "read-only mode" and recenly realised that I gained more knowledge over this year...

    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...

    Phono Cartridge Response Measurement Script

    This thread is intended to consolidate the technical discussion and further development of Scott Wurcer's frequency response measurement script to a central area. I'd like to keep this discussion about the tool rather than specific cartridges. I'll edit this and the subsequent reserved posts in...

    An EQ Experiment in my listening room

    Hey guys, I've spent a lot of time Optimizing my Speaker Positioning using REW and after weeks of tweaking my current set-up has the following psychoacoustically smoothed frequency response at the listening position as measured by a Umik-1 microphone: As you can see I've got a...

    Preferred Target FR Curve

    Hi Everyone! TLDR; what's your preferred FR Curve and EQ goals when using DSP? I've built my own pair of speakers of my own design, you can find my write up of it here: Still Haven't Named Them. I stopped messing with them for a bit and am very happy with its sound signature except I found...

    Are headphones frequency response measurements irrelevant?

    I've been obsessed with headphones measurements for years, specifically with frequency response measurements. But, I am yet to find measurements that match with what I actually hear. More specifically, none of the measurements match with what I hear when I run the SineGen. They are accurate up...

    Can I find Golden Ears (goldenears.net) measurements anywhere?

    As the title says. Are there Golden Ears measurements archived somewhere, the way Tyll's Innerfidelity ones are? Golden Ears measurements were THE best, and the most accurate I've ever seen. Unfortunately, the site is long gone, and using the Wayback machine is not smooth at all, plus a lot of...
