Being older ones, I thought they operated at 48KHz, but I'm honestly not sure. As I mentioned above, going to check serial numbers and see exactly what I have, versus what I assumed I have. I will say that I subsequently keyed in the filters manually under "Basic" mode, did a quick sweep, and...

Gotcha' on the DSP showing the combined effect. I'll pay closer attention to that as I explore more and try the "generate measurement" suggestion. I'm pretty sure I chose the right MINIDSP settings, but the other response above has me wondering. I'll have to get th serial numbers off the units...

Hello all, me again. Tinkering, learning, and avoiding the 50MPH winds and negative double-digit temps outside. I know the majority of users are taming bass frequencies with their setups, but I'm happy with what I've achieved, and am now spending some more time mucking about with my main...

?? Other than the name I assigned to the speaker being measured which I said was a center channel), what is missing? Yes. I didn't say that this is not being measured in an anechoic chamber, but in my listening room. I did 7 sweeps 2 feet apart across the listening position. Each line in the...

Education. I enjoy knowing and learning about all aspects of a hobby, even if I'm not necessarily going to exploit them. I live by the saying "If it ain't broke, take it apart to see why it works". And occasioanlly, a little aspect I learn about WILL be implemented. Like when I started to learn...

Hahaha, thank you John. Do you think there is any value in doing an off-axis with the speaker in place, to see how things work in the actual listening environment? Or is there just not enough accuracy with a consimer-grade measuring setup. I honestly didn't even start looking at decay times...

Well, THIS one got no tractrion, lol.

Hi, all. 'Wondering if anyone has done on/off-axis measurements of their center channel? I used the search function, but didn't find any relevant posts in this subforum. I replaced the dome tweeter in my center with a BMR unit, and ran 7 sweeps, 2 feet apart, across my listening zone...

Thank you! My test curve looks something like this (just grabbed one off the web). I haven't really delved too deeply in a "good" house curve yet. I WILL be, though! 63 4.9 80 3.7 100 2.5 125 1.3 160 0.6 200 0.2 250 0 1000 -1 32000 -6

I try to put my targtet in the "middle" of the existing response to balance out how much boosting or cuting gets dine, but now I understand how that could cause the no-EQ situation I am experiencing. I'll experiment with moving that around, and see if I get any filters above 1.5KHz that way...

I hadn't even considered the software name vs what I was trying to do, lol! I will do some test adjustments in the areas you think may be causing what I'm hearing. I'm not looking top create a good graph, per se, but I know that measurements/graph can halp explain what I might be hearing (but...

I'll open with: Yes, I know that EQ'ing mains is a suboptimal way to improve things, but this is just an office system that I am tinkering with, and want to play/learn/enjoy. I'll also add that I did a solid search for this topic with multiple keywords, and didn't find any threads on it. If it's...

Well, I finally found the solution. After a ton of back-and-forth fiddling and adjustment, I figuired out that the AVR of course offers adjustment of all channel levels, but has a separate channel level adjustment in each mode called "Subwoofer". Here's the thing: In any movie modes, the...

I think that's the hurdle I have to overcome. My AVR seems to do global channel levels. So if I crank the subs for music, I have to reduce then back for movies. Unfortunately, Denon took a step backwards and made it so you have to go 3-5 layers deep in menus to do so.

Are you saying the sub may run 10dB hotter in movie/TV mode, even though when I run the level test, I set all channels to the same level (75dB)? I remember that being a thing with the way REW measures (still not exaclty sure what it meant), but I thought using the internal AVR test tones...
