Multiple measurements can actually reduce the resolution of the correction at the listening position. This was mentioned in Sean Olives study on, “The Objective and Subjective Evaluation of Room Correction Products. See:
https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...review-room-eq-setup.26397/page-9#post-906241 You can hear it in AB tests, which I have done, and encourage others to compare and hear with your own ears.
I have also measured the reduction in resolution:
I took sweeps of two correction filters through the convolution engine so we can see each filter that is being applied to the same loudspeaker system in the same room. The top correction filter is Dirac's using their recommended multiple measurement approach and the bottom is one of the DRC packages discussed using a single measurement. The red line can be considered 0 dBFS for the bottom correction as it is cut only with no boosting.
As one can see, below 600 Hz, the Dirac correction has significantly less frequency correction resolution than the other correction filter. And the Dirac filter is over correcting at 95 Hz. As one should be able to glean, the audible differences between the two filters is significant in AB testing.
On a slightly different note, Dirac uses a mix of IIR and FIR filters. IIR filters are used at the low frequencies and therefore offers no excess phase correction at low frequencies to correct for the rooms non-minimum phase response.
Don't get me wrong, I have
reviewed Dirac extensively here. But because of these audible/measurable shortcomings, it did not make the SOTA list. Which is what this post and video is all about.
If you disagree, fine. But show some data/measurements/listening tests to support your position. So far I see a lot of words, but no real data.
