Yes that is very classic setup which hurts the 200-400hz range usually due to SBIR.Year, the ears/seat is only 30-50cm from back wall, I should try reposition speakers/seat and measure again.
Btw, I place speakers along long wall
@laidick does that mean to drag the graph down is easier than to raise it up?
If you want a little more correction at ~260Hz, you can lower the overall target level by one or two dB and then the remaining dip can be removed. At least I am pretty sure this will work.Measured using Anthem STR preamp and its included mỉcrophone
Can someone take a look at my pre-rc measurements and give any recommendations?
Is the corrected curves provide better sound?

It looks like the boost is limited to 6 dB (typical setting) so you are A-ok.
But does that mean the other frequencies will be lowered by 2dB, which in turn, means I have to turn the volume 2dB higher to hear mid/treb?If you want a little more correction at ~260Hz, you can lower the overall target level by one or two dB and then the remaining dip can be removed.

Yes it would be 2dB lower across the board. So it is a workaround of the 6dB boost limit of the ARC. So that you can get rid of the little dip that remains in the L channel if you wanted to do that.But does that mean the other frequencies will be lowered by 2dB, which in turn, means I have to turn the volume 2dB higher to hear mid/treb?
Isnt that the same thing as leave it at 0?
Enlighten me if my understanding is wrong:Yes it would be 2dB lower across the board. So it is a workaround of the 6dB boost limit of the ARC. So that you can get rid of the little dip that remains in the L channel if you wanted to do that.
Oh you are right. I thought it lowered all frequencies by 2dB but it does not lower those above 5kHz. So not helpful. Sorry to sidetrack you!Enlighten me if my understanding is wrong:
What this trick does is to:
-Move the target -2dB lower to tame the last 2db of that 260hz
-Frequencies across the board up to 5k hz will be lowered by -2dB along the target curve
-Does that mean now the frequencies above 5kHz will be +2dB higher than those under 5kHz? Because correction only appliied to those below.
-IF that's the case, then isn't it better to just leave the target curve at where it is, so the below/above 5kHz mark will have no -2dB variation?
-Does this dip down by adjusting the target curve damage the speakers or stress the amp in any ways? Because it raises the 260Hz frequencies -5dB lower than what Arc supposed to adjust (limit to +/-3 up/down on Arc)
-Or I understand it wrong, the 0-5kHz only stay at a set volume and the above-5kHz will only be -2dB louder.
Thanks
Actually, you helped me by reading your words and start to figure out what the curves mean. I start to grow more knowledge of these RC stuffs ^_^ Just get into these RC things from yesterday.Oh you are right.

I am glad it is making sense for you but in this case you taught me more than I was able to help you!Actually, you helped me by reading your words and start to figure out what the curves mean. I start to grow more knowledge of these RC stuffs ^_^ Just get into these RC things from yesterday.
Thanks!
Can someone please clarify this:
Using ARC on Anthem STR preamp means it will use its built-in ADC/DAC to convert the input source again (for example I use Qutest and connect to pre's RCA inputs), which means better outboard wont help? Because it will output the converted signal by its ADC/DAC anyway?
If thats the case, it's the same as listening to its usb DAC?
Thanks
