Where is the mid?

Where is the mid?

?

?

Have you read the review and see the curve? 200 to 400 hz where the ear is sensible.

 

[Frgirard]

Same thing in the bass Frequency.
All this at 1/6 to hide what cannot be shown.

Have you seen the room they did this in? No wonder it's a total mess...

Yes and?
The GLM doesn't make miracle: This is a typical response of a floor standing speaker, Room treated or untreated.

That is obviously a room and placement problem though, not from the loudspeaker. Also personally I would call 200 Hz - 400 Hz rather upper bass and lower mids.

Obviously, GLM is not a miracle invention. This is a science forum. We don't believe in miracles!

Blame the room, not the speaker.

A science forum? It's the new voodoo for objectivists.

A scientific fact is a fact refutable. This forum must read Karl Popper.
All floorstanding speakers have this type of response.
Your last sentence is an act of worship. Science? A myth.

All floorstanding speakers have this type of response.

You do realize that this is just a monitor with a built-in stand, don't you?

The stand is pretty great though. The things look great and I love that there is no backplate with plugs and multiple cables running down back. Yes those are mere aesthetic concerns. I do wish they had used the coax drivers but suppose I understand there’s a lot of value in brand heritage type products.

Maybe its only me, but i prefer the classic look.

Some interesting facts about 6040R, compared to 8340 If we look at Genelecs own measurements:

1. In 6040R, theres a slight dip centered at 3,5 kHz, -1 dB , probably so they sound a bit ”nicer” to the ear with some recordings, than a flat response.
This tweak can also be done in all the SAM monitors, manually in GLM. One can also tweak the 6040R in GLM to be flat measuring at 3,5 KHz.

I have tried this -1 dB at 3,5 kHz in my 8340, but I think a flat response is slightly better sounding.

8340:

Below, the 6040R:

Hello,

These 6040r are my first Genelecs and also first active speakers. I bought them one year ago and I'm very happy since the first day.

The GLM calibration does a great job within a few seconds, better that what I got doing it by myself using REW.

The sound is natural, the image is wide and focused at the same time. I can't compare them to other Genelecs (although I own a 8340 as center speaker), but they are quite easy to place, I suspect that the closed cabinet has something to do with it.

I also like the design (full white) that suits with my living room.

The only drawback is... that I feel alone, like if I was the only owner of these speakers :-(

I think these look pretty great and I’m sure they sound wonderful.

This guy couldn’t say enough good things about them…it seems he liked them better than he liked the 8381A’s he reviewed lol

Yeah lol
I'm still in shock about how much he disliked the 8381 especially as he's the only YouTuber that did a full review of them

Yes it looks like most rooms, which is why people are confused at you asking "where's the mid"

I've never seen anyone say 200-400hz are the mids, also ears are not "sensible" to frequencies, you must mean sensitive.

I'd consider 200hz to 400hz the crossover point where upper bass becomes lower mids. Specifically above 250hz.
