Undeniably an important factor, neighbors, to consider in the selection and use of subwoofers.Just tried the first track... Wtfnot sure my neighbour apprechiated that!
Thanks for the playlist.
Well there you go!Im hoping that I will be home alone sometime during the weekend to listen and adjust over a couple of hours. Its hard trying to listen when the kids are playing around the house
I guess I can get it to sound good enough, as of now, but if I know myself good enough I will eventually buy a mic and learn more about that.
You don't need the volume cranked up to hear the rising and lowering of volume on a sweep. That way your neighbors will not be too upset. Just don't crack the paint on their walls!Just tried the first track... Wtfnot sure my neighbour apprechiated that!
Thanks for the playlist.
Update,
So I decided to move the sub to the other side of the sideboard away from the corner and wow what a difference in sound!Much tighter and cleaner. Did not realize how boomy it was in the corner! Sounds like a different sub.
and it happends that a friend of mine works with sound and is familiar with REW and has offerd to come by and help me messure my sound![]()
I am not surprised that moving the sub reduced the boominess. Such corner locations are rarely feasible without serious dsp room eq. In any event, you should really measure the actual in-room response. Without that, you are groping in the dark. The beauty of this sub is precisely that you have a few filters to reduce the worst peaks (don't bother with the dips). The limitation of such filters is that they will reduce the peaks in only one listening location. I am afraid you will need more than one sub for a flat response over a wider listening area.Update,

Sorry for late reply - I missed your post! And thank you for your kind words about our interiorI am not surprised that moving the sub reduced the boominess.

By the way, I fully understand that your wife insisted on the esthetics. Your interior exudes elegant Scandinavian style. For me the most attractive audio system is an invisible one. These days that is possible with electronics, but obviously not with speakers.
For that it might not be necessary to by a mic. In low frequency many phone mics are pretty good. And you might find a spectrum analyser app that works with sufficient resolution.when I can actually see how it sounds ...![]()
There first primary peaks and deaps are constant. They are room length determined only intensity varies with position. To anulate first peak by position sub neads to be about 1m straight in the centre before you which is possible in near field.I am not surprised that moving the sub reduced the boominess.

Cheap and cheerful but good performance and decent appearance... a Gallo TR1/2/3 sub ... used.My big problem is that my otherwise wonderful custom built speakers only go down to 70Hz. So, which if any of these subs would make the audio sound the least colored or incoherent with having to cross the high up?
