frequency response

Hi wonderful audiophile people, so nice to have such valuable info and feedback on this forum. Been researching speakers that go deep in low frequencies and found discrepancies across both tests and specs. Notably about mean on-axis levels as well as frequency response range. 1. How can a...

Hello, I was wondering where would I place the panel on the celling, it is a slanted celling which goes (Short to High). How would I calculate the first reflection point, my guess would be between the centre of the listening position and the speakers. Also would the panel be Vertical or...

Hello, I am new when it comes the room acoustics, I have been mixing in headphones most of the time, and now I would like to start mixing on speakers , I have set up my speakers and my best listening position in my room, it is a small room with a slanted roof. I have ran some test on REW with L...

Can you hear the differences in the jumps clearly because they are on a small db? What about 80 db? Does it get better with EQ, because I've never tested it, but some said the highs were pitched too high without eq, but with eq you lose clarity (3350 hz, clear jump up)

Does anyone have some example measurements as to how typical speaker FR changes with volume? I know that Amir test speakers at 86dB and 96dB, but how does it work at low volume? The reason that I am asking, is a discussion I've seen on which speakers/hifi equipment sounds best at low volume...

Dashed Lines are the original and Amir's Harman targets, exactly the same for the most part. (Thin and thicc (respectfully)) Solid Green is the Aeon RT (Flow Closed) $500 Solid Red is the Closed X with the single notch filter $380 Solid Blue is...

Hi, I'm looking to purchase either the Sanken CO-100K microphone, or something similar, to capture material for sound design. The main reason being that it will enable me to capture high frequency content and have this preserved/revealed when pitching sounds down inside of my DAW. Nothing super...

Hi, I wanted to know you opinion on cutting frequencies below 20 Hz, I saw a lot of speakers that have small woofer that doesn't extend well past 50-60Hz, but that's not the case with headphones, with many reviews recommending equalization of bass to Harman target and even with linear bass...

Are they meant to sound this way? Like the measurements below, they are pretty dull on the high end. Do the measurements look like they're broken in any way? If they're not (both speakers measure similarly), what could the consideration be for such a sonic design? I've no idea what generation...

There has been interest in this thread over what the Apple music EQ presets (on iPhone / iOS) are actually doing, in an effort to use them to correct headphone responses without much inconvenience. To access these settings on your iPhone, you simply go to Settings -> Music -> EQ. The EQ is...

In my search for great transducers to EQ and enjoy music with, I have found some brands better than others in objective measurements such as frequency response, distortion, resonances, etc. I always found Audeze’s transducers to be extremely good to EQ, even when being open-back. Their only...

I think I luckily owned a well tuned headphone for a long time so I never saw frequency response as a big issue. Always wondered why everyone is so obsessed with frequency response in their headphone reviews and recommendations. Until I tried on Hifiman he 1000se. This Hifiman headphone is a...

This is the first time I remember seeing a spin from any Magico speaker in Klippel NFS. I am glad the company is providing it to reviews, but I wish they uploaded them to their website for all models as well. Behold the flagship floorstanding speaker from their entry level A series published by...

The amplitude-frequency response curves (near on-axis only, far off-axis only, or both on-axis and far off-axis) of a speaker may have a dip around the crossover frequency. Is it correct to eliminate the dip by EQing? As an example, let us see 2019 Audioholics B&W 603 review. The frequency...

Something I stumbled upon while browsing the Web. I've not applied it to any of my own personal audio gear, but do with it as you will: https://www.audiodiscourse.com/2020/12/introducing-antdroids-preference-target.html

For me, I prefer headphones/speakers that have the correct frequency response even if I have to forfeit some of the imaging/spatial qualities of sound. What do you prefer?

https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/tree/master/results/crinacle/harman_in-ear_2019v2/KZ ZAX I've applied this to my own and am evaluating it at the moment. On the Fixed Band EQ I'm finding the treble to be a little hot for my taste. I suspect the emphasis at 4KHz is the culprit. The...

In order to use REW's automatic EQ feature, I started collecting and converting every speaker target that I could find into the necessary .txt format. In this thread I want to share my work so far, as well as ask you guys for target responses that I may have missed. Comparison: So...

I stumbled upon a link to AutoEQ in another thread and searched to see if it had it's own dedicated thread (this will be the first). Short version: Jaakko Pasanen (don't know him) took the Harmon target curves for 2018 (Headphones) and 2019 (IEMs) and crinacle's measurements database and wrote...

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and first of all I would like to thank Amirm and all forum members for the many measurements and discussions I have read in the last 3-4 weeks since I got to know the forum. I came to the forum because I am just saying goodbye to my hifi system and switching...
