I love this wonky thread,
now if you will excuse me, I would like to get even wonkier.
Something about these room measurements is really hard to read. The ca. 10dB drop from 400Hz to 10KHz is a real problem, but is likely to happen in certain rooms. The 6-7dB drop from 400Hz to 180Hz just doesn’t make sense. The unfiltered measurement just looks like a bad measurement. No way your speakers/room sound like that. For instance, look at the drop from 80dB at about 140Hz to 55dB at about 160Hz. Thats 25 dB over 1/8th of an octave. These things just don’t happen in the real world. Can be a truck drove by, dog barking or floor rumble coming up the mic stand. I don’t know this particular piece of software, but in SMAART it is called that the measurement has poor Coherence.
Measuring each speaker at point blank so yo can evaluate the room vs. just the speaker can help in reading the room measurements later.
Taking a room measurement with just one speaker so phase interaction between the pair don’t contaminate the measurement is also a good intermediate step.
Another question, what sort of filtering takes place? is this equivalent to A and C weightings?
