target curve

First things first - I don't have a frequency test mic/software, so I'm just using a mobile app to analyze the SPL in my room. Goal is to generally balance my subwoofer output level with the levels from my speakers in a way that is objectively more meaningful than "it sounds good". Audio flow...

Our MiniDSP Flex has four presets but we use only one: Julian Krause's target from the video where he shows how to use REW to make measurements and produce parametric eq specs. I don't think we've ever had better sound but it makes sense to play around and maybe learn something more about our...

There seems to be a downward spiral that leads us to nowhere here. I've read and watched tons of reviews and articles, yet there seems to be no conclusion. Some people say that the Etymotic target is flat, some say that the Harman target is flat, some say that the IEF Neutral target is flat...

Hi, I have a couple of questions about how to interpret CEA-2010 results when making a purchasing decision on subwoofers. The budget subwoofer selection in my area is very limited, but I've narrowed my options down to the Jamo C 912 and Polk HTS 10. The plot below shows their CEA-2010 results...

hey guys how you doing i need pair of IEM for mixing and monitoring I know its not ideal but I need the IEM portability so after reading and watching lots of reviews I came across to etymotic er4sr for having the most neutral sounding IEMs at this range. after that I started to see lots of...

Some days ago I was reading reviews of headphones and IEMs, and their frequency responses compared against a "neutral" target curve, and that got me thinking... Contrary to a "preference" target curve, a "neutral" target curve, as far as I know, is defined by using a head (+torso?) simulator...

Yet another target curve is born. https://audio-head.com/ba-maker-knowles-revisits-the-harman-curve-with-the-knowles-curve-for-headphones/amp/

I have performed my first measurement with UMIK-1 and REW. I need your help to understand how to generate & translate my EQ measurements into RME parameters. I could not find a way to generate EQ according to RME parameters and capabilities. I tried using Generic EQ with 7 filters but didn't...

The other day I tried comparing my main system with my in ear monitors. The main system is in my living room and I applied EQ to a target of a linear tilt following the slope simimlar to the most preferred response according to Harman's research. I was sitting in the sweet spot listening to a...

Many think the Harman's target curve for headphones has too much bass. What is your experience?

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

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...
