Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions DSP vs EQ

Thanks for the input guys. I did try half and flat, but even at half, I dropped way off in the 40Hz-60Hz range by like -7db. The room is eating up 40-60Hz, and amplifying >60Hz range.

I do want to try to remove the +2.5 Hz gain. I may wind up narrowing the BW of the 26.98Hz filter and maybe moving it down a Hz or two. The +2.5 gain is necessary now due to the -9db at 26.98.

I chose a +6db house filter to adjust for the human ear's reduced sensitivity in the 20-30Hz range. I tried a flat curve, an this sounded much better to me. There are advocates of house curves, and of the flat response. In the end, you wind up setting it the way it sounds better to you. Randy's right to. REW has adjustments that you load in to account for your measureing equipment. I loaded the Radio Shack sound meter adjustment, and also calibrated my sound card (though that was not as much of an adjustment as the meter).

But overall, this is a 2x improvement from pre-equalization.
