Is the slope too much for this room.

[ehabheikal]

I learned here that the inroom response usually slants down, but i feel that this slant down is too much. Any help appreciated. The room has some foam panels that i put, and being a bedroom has a lot of soft furniture.

You might want to adjust the scale so that people can better judge the values displayed.

Try showing this much, or less, expanded..

A 50dB range for the graph space is common.

The rescaled example even goes way past that.

Here's an example with 50dB range on the graph:

The range of the signal is about +/-6dB from a straight line average, no slope applied nor desired.

Wtf is that y-axis scale? 260dB or so?
Please set it 50dB.

 

[ehabheikal]

I redid the measurement this time i saw where the graph scale was.

 

[RayDunzl]

You still have 170dB range on the chart.

What are we looking at?

 

[ehabheikal]

Silly me cant get the hang of rew. It is so counter inituative for me.

Just post the file.

 

[ehabheikal]

redid the scale, and this is what i think you mean by the file. Thanx

@ehabheikal digitalfrost meant that you should save the REW measurement as .mdat file, then zip it and post it here by clicking "Attach files".

A slope that's about 5dB down from 100Hz to 10kHz is a good place to start. Yours is much steeper then that at like 25-30dB down.

What microphone are you using here?

 

[Balle Clorin]

The curve looks very sloped and dull, in my room that curve would sound like having my head in a sack of wet wool and thumbs in ear… Like Sigberg hint at your microphone may be far from correct . go for a curve and slope that sounds good to you, not just any textbook curve.

To be honest if your your curve actually is like you posted you would notice something is very wrong with the sound.

You may be using your PCs microphone without knowing… Check sound settings in PC and disable PCs own microphone for recording.

 

[ehabheikal]

What microphone are you using here?

umik 1 with calibration file

rew detects umik 1 and asks about the calibration file.

My guess is the measurement presented is no good. You might want to recheck or recount step by step your methodology.

 

[ehabheikal]

I readjusted my sub and got this measurement

 

[fpitas]

Wait...your sub affects the whole frequency band?

 

[staticV3]

@ehabheikal please give your measurements proper names in REW and click the "Include Legend" checkbox when you capture a screenshot.
As it stands, we have no idea what the graphs are supposed to show.

If the red graph in your latest screenshot shows the total Frequency Response of your system, then that's looking a lot better already!

Now it is clearer to understand. Just take down the 3 peaks below 200Hz to begin with. 2 of them are with the sub, so if it has DSP, just set it for these frequencies and some trial and error until it irons out.

I could not find how to rename it but here it is with the legend

No dsp in sub, but i have roon.
