"Dynamics" as defined by HAA is the ability of the system to accurately reproduce both the quietest and loudest sounds in content. CEDIA's RP22 doc, which is quickly becoming the industry engineering standard, calls this "Dynamic Range" and has a great definition: The key is this part "the...

Only if the speaker is designed or well suited for that. Toeing speakers in increases focus but decreases envelopment as less energy is going into the reflected sound. There's certainly some personal preferences that come into play. Coaxial speakers are an example that typically need to be...

Anyone can learn how to listen, but yeah, once you hear something, you can't "unhear" it. The good news is that a lot of situations are easier to fix than you think. Getting the basics correct like speaker and sub positions, aim, levels, and delay cost nothing and have hugely audible benefits.

I'm a calibrator by trade and adhere to the Home Acoustics Alliance definition of clarity. To paraphrase, clarity is the “prime” acoustical goal and the sum of the 5 criteria: focus, envelopment, smoothness, dynamics, and consistency. Clarity places its emphasis on dialogue intelligibility...

Much appreciated! I'll have to wait for the build. The internal loopback on the Evo 16 is fixed to channels 23-24.

Beta Version ea66 ... I'm getting an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds error when trying to take a sweep measurement. It happens with single or multi-input measurements. Audient Evo 16 using loopback as timing reference. The level check works fine. The measurement sweep runs and sounds as expected...

Now why in the world would I miss something obvious. Never happens. I swear. Unless I publicly post somewhere. Thanks, John and sorry for the Friday afternoon / evening stupidity.

5.20.14ea18 Am I missing the option to hide the distortion detail when using the RTA? There doesn't seem to be a way ‍♂️

Found a repeatable bug / crash when using the RTA. Multi-mic capture. Pink noise via generator. RTA set to capture individual traces for all mics plus the peak. After capture, hit the "Both" button to save measurements and you get an array index out of bounds java exception: EDIT: This is...

Confirming the issue is resolved in the latest 5.20.14 build. Thank you, sir!

I see new builds / releases and will try those later today. I wanted to drop a note that I was able to get 5.20.3 installed with no issue on Ventura. Upgrades still had the same problem.

@John Mulcahy - I'm having this issue as well. 2021 14" M1 MBP. I did a fresh install of the final version, not an upgrade, of MacOS 13 (Ventura). I get behavior identical to R3k's above with both 5.20.13 and the 5.20.14 early access versions.

I’ll try this on my 2020 M1 MBP later this week. I can’t do it on the work machine (2019 Intel), and the 2021 M1 Pro MBP doesn’t support Big Sur.

TL;DR - Working as expected on the latest MBP that brings back on-board HDMI. I have no idea what's up with those other machines. Or why no one else has seen this before. Glad it appears to be all sorted though. Thanks @John Mulcahy and @sam_adams for the thoughts on this one. 2021 M1 MBP...

Brief update ... I had a reason to remeasure with Dirac, and captured the impulse response there. This is the M1 MBP with the same UMIK-2 and cal file. The pre-correction IR is below, and shows the center as ~1.75ms before the mains which is accurate. It's definitely HDMI related ... somehow...
