Room Shaper Audio plugin for Roon, JRiver, etc and custom room equalization

[Dennis_FL]

This is a small company which does the room correction for you via a Roon plugin.

Not only Roon.. HQplayer, JRiver, Foobar (together with the VST convolver plugin) and any other player with VST plug-in format compatibility or using Brutefir convolution engine (like Volumio).

Have you tried it?

Have you tried it?

No......I came across it on a Roon forum here and a mini review here.

mitchco did an in depth review here https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/reviews/home-audio-fidelity-room-shaper-review-r855/

I use it as a VST plugin with Reaper in a 2-way active system, has been very stable in operation. Currently trying out dual subs and having usual problems with room modes so will post some measurements with/wout RS when finalised sub placement.

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but how did this go for you? How is it? I'm currently running Audiolense in my system and am interested in trying this out to see how well it can solve resonance issues in my room (I already have quite a bit of broadband absorption so the room does already sound quite nice).

I use it; the author is very pleasant to work with and it works as designed. My situation sounds similar to yours - I started with a very good foundation (D&D 8C at 70cm), using Audiolense, treatments, then applied Room Shaper to fix a small resonance.

Blue = before room shaper. It's quite subtle in my case, I have to listen very hard to hear a difference. But given the price and the problem it's intended to solve, it's a no-brainer to try it out for 2ch playback.

The same author sells the cheapest crosstalk cancellation filters I know of, an effect which I quite like.

Try this gentleman's services...very friendly, very professional. He knows exactly what he's doing. He just provided me with crossover filters (with crosstalk cancellation) that seem better than DLBC (at least with my 2.2 setup with Oktodac pro)

Resurrecting the thread once again. Playing around with Thierry's plugins again after a few years since the last trial. I can verify the effects here with some impulse and waterfall plots. All these measurements were taken in one session with a Motu M2, Dayton EMM-6 with 90 degree cal file, calibrated SPL, with a mic stand at LP. The mic didn't move at all between sweeps. I didn't note a dramatic difference between Room Shaper and Room Cleaner objectively.

How Room Shaper and Room Cleaner affect the SPL

Waterfall with and without plugin

It does help with low frequency decay quite a bit. Decay graphs show some interesting things:

It also cleans up the step response a little bit:

My system (room) is already pretty good with sub bass and decay but when I listen at higher SPL like 85-95dB (can easily do more) it makes a dramatic subjective difference in my active XO 3-way speakers+ 2 subs.
