Hi all,
I'm hoping to get some advice on what my next step should be in a very small room with the desk tight against a wall.
The room is 8 1/2 ft long and 7ft wide. Desk is off centre on the longer wall, close to a corner.
The right side speaker is 10 inches away from the corner wall, and the front of the speakers are 8 inches away from the wall behind them.
A few days ago I picked up a set of Eris 5's due to Black Friday (£82 each).
I picked these over the Edifier MR4's due to the E5's being front ported, which I thought would be a better idea & lead to less issues for my room / desk setup.
After setting them up & playing around with their position, etc... I've noticed a distinct resonance somewhere around 125hz ( solo'd a eq band in Bitwig to narrow it down ) that gets fairy annoying after a while.
It becomes less of an issue to me if I set the 'Low Cutoff' switch on the speaker to 100hz. Although reducing the bass that much defeats the purpose of buying these in the first place.
That's also with the 'Acoustic Space' switches both set to -4dB as well.
Other than the resonance, sound quality-wise the E5's are miles ahead of the Logitech speakers ( plus a matching Logi sub under the desk) you see next to them, so in that respect they are a big improvement but I know the resonance will continue to annoy me in the long term.
So, do I stick with these and use eq cuts in Equalizer APO to try and fix the issue, or would I be better returning them and going with the MR4's + one of the various eq profiles that are available?
Any help / advice would be appreciated.
