I had some time today and measured in a normal, untreated room (4m x 3m) 1 speaker with REW.
I wanted to compare no correction, GLM the proprietary solution of Genelec, Sonarworks and Audiolense.
I went fast so errors are likely, I will take your feedback and adapt.
Microphone is a umic, interface in a RME UFX+, computer is a Mac, cables are either amazon basic or contric xlr,
speakers are Genelec 8341+7370, I have Focal Shape 40 in the same room so can compare easily if you want
(they are on the ceiling so different freq response).
I choose a flat target to make comparison easy.
First room v.s. GlM. Due to the small rectangular room, 2 large cancellations at 45hz and 100hz. GLM tame the peaks
but does not try to compensate for dips.
Let's compare GLM and Sonar:
Frequency wise, almost the same thing. My take on this is that: if you only need 2 fronts speakers and a sub and don't
move your speakers often then the old Genelec are a better deal than the new one
Sonar has 3 filters: 0 latency (IIR is suppose), mixed and linear, frequency wise then are very similar.
Let's look at the step response: first without GLM and with:
Let's look at GLM v.s. Sonar (0 latency) step response:
hmm same thing, same frequency response and same step response, same algorithm?
It there a difference between sonar 3 algorithms?
yes some but not incredible.
First conclusion: not that much differences between them.
