All,
I have finally gotten around to using my new C97 II speakers, the UMIK-1, REW, and Equalizer APO. For the relatively cheap gear I have, this is the best sound I have been able to achieve in my house and the Jamo C97 II solved my lacking musical punch problem. I did find what I think might be a cancelation in my listening area at 200hz. I just can't seem to correct the 200ish hz range when both speakers are playing at the same time. It is audible with a tone but not that audible in music or at least that I can tell. 200hz is much louder if I move about 1.5 feet left or right but in dead center, it's -10db or so by the UMIK-1 measurement. Any suggestions, maybe add some physical room correction? This is my 2nd effort with filters, I spent about 4-5 hours on this getting all software and hardware setup and doing the measurements and filtering.
How perfect should I expect in room to be on a chart? +/- 5db, +/- 3db? The attached image is with REW filters loaded into Equlizer pro (corrections are applied). I brought up the right filter level by 0.5db after I took the image attached. I need to re-run REW but the L and R channels seem more even to my ears now. Purple line is L and R with both subs. Dark blue line is Left with both subs and blue/green line is Right with subs.
Some notes: Subs are set to assist all the way up to 100hz. The speakers are set to full range. I used the house curve at default within REW to create my filters with 68db being the target average. I used left + subs and right + subs for measurements, both subs and speakers are equal distance from back wall and listening area and left and right equal as well. I cannot split left and right subs (yet), my receiver has two sub outs but I assume they are the same mono channel as they both always play even when L/R are playing separately. This did mean both left and right speaker filters applied to both of subs at the same time unfortunately. I did db balance all channels and both subs individually at least. One by one getting their db readings within 0.5db or so, this meant turning off or unplugging speakers/subs etc.
I have to thank this forum for recommending a UMIK-1 to me, music is so much better on this setup than it was before.
Cheers!
