Mathaudio Room EQ users (tips & tricks)

[Snarfie]

If only one sampling rate at a time is allowed,I would stick to the original,more common 44.1Khz,or whatever the file is.
You won't find a difference in quality going higher.

Ok i manage to install wasapi event an push. Unfortunately it does not work. Atleast you can choose at some setting for 16, 24 or 32bit. But those settings will not work.

What is the best way to locate the microphone for Room EQ out of the following patterns? The Room EQ instructions just show a matrix of dots. Is there a best practice?:

If you refer to this topic Mathaudio Room EQ users (tips & tricks) read Mathaudio setup manuel on their website. Always place the mic vertical on ear hight because their algo is developed like that. I guess the sofa setup. Because of the multiple speakers setup you can ask Sergey from Mathaudio E-mail => [email protected] https://mathaudio.com/room-eq.htm

Also a nice Mathaudio forum to find answers

I am wondering if anyone has tried to adjust the white target line to the shape of the Harman Curve? Isn't the Harman curve a theoretical target sound signature said to produce the best sound quality that most listeners would prefer? So this is what I am experimenting. See the graph below:

I can't say if this produces the sound I like. It sure sounds different from the flat line. I would like hear your opinions.

Sure do but that looks like a curve for headphones.

 

[UnderpathBum]

Yes, I just realized I used the wrong Harman Curve. Thanks for pointing it out. No wonder it sounded so thin. Now I have adjusted it toward The loudspeaker room Harman, and it sounds awesome.

By "place the mic vertical", do you mean pointing the mic toward the ceiling?

Yes specific the Mathaudio algorithm expected it is. Important part is measuring reflection from the ceiling better.

Wow, I have been doing it all wrong by pointing forward.

If you're using a UMIK-1 make sure you use the vertical calibration file (XXXXXXX_90deg.txt)

That's a good reminder. Thanks buddy.

Does anyone have REW (or so) measurements before and after using Mathaudio Room EQ? The example in #69 doesn't look very impressive. It would be interesting to see the waterfall and so on..

Quick and dirty,I suppose that the general climate asks for something as wrong as full spectrum correction?
There you go,mic about a meter away to see the effect:

I'm in the middle of electric measurements now,another day I maybe post more.

I suppose red is the correction.?

 

[Flaesh]

I suppose red is the correction.?

Sure. I wonder what changed in the time domain.

 

[Chr1]

Apologies if this is stating the obvious but I guess the first question would be: has anything changed since you measured for RoomEQ, furniture, distances etc?
My UMIK-1 is out on loan currently, so can't check myself unfortunately.

 

[Sokel]

Sure. I wonder what changed in the time domain.

Don't mind the values as the interface is set for electrical response and noise is high at mic,look at the relative:

Where it matters (lows) it works,and it works well.

And here's the absolute guide about correction (along with the book of course) :

What is your favorite house curve

OK. Next question for you folks. As far as I can tell there is no spinorama for the Focal Aria 926's, which happen to be my main speakers. However, Amir did do a spinorama for the Aria 906 standmount speakers. They use the same tweeter and mid driver as the 926, but lack the two woofers as they...

it works well

I don't want to be pushy, but can you show waterfalls?

Thanks. I expected the worst. It works!))
