    Crossover, speaker alignment, room equalization - what do I start with?

    I was thinking about most effective/efficient way to apply PEQ. As of now, I am applying PEQ to all channels because I am measuring all speakers together. But what about this: I measure, equalize and apply PEQ to each channel separately, making them as flat as possible on their own, and than do...

    Crossover, speaker alignment, room equalization - what do I start with?

    I tried several house curves, but they never add enough bass, or I am just using it wrong. Anyways, I just increase subwoofer volume through app until it sounds strong enough. I measure with SVS at -32db and after EQ I usually set it to -11db, I could probably use like +20db harmann, but I...

    Forgot to mention this is all before EQ, here is EQd response.

    Crossover, speaker alignment, room equalization - what do I start with?

    Hi, back with an update. I could find only one good spot where mains sound good without insane nulls in 200-300Hz region, so I had to plan sub placement according to that. But there was a problem: sub on right side - big 60-100Hz nulls, sub on the left side: big 20-50Hz nulls. That was a sign...

    Any possibility to "hang" acoustic treatments?

    So that the sound can go through the rockwool and not bounce back from the cardboard, I am pretty sure I read to use fabric that you can breathe through, that means sound can penetrate it and be absorbed by the rockwool.

    Any possibility to "hang" acoustic treatments?

    So I looked into some DIY bass traps, and I was wondering: I have some really thick and tall cardboard boxes, approx. 1X1X1 meters. I would remove the back of the cardboard box so it's open on front and back, I would then fill the box with this Rockwool mat, wrap in the box with burlap and stick...

    Any possibility to "hang" acoustic treatments?

    What do you mean by "speaker is in control"? Like when it sounds exactly the same no matter where it or listening position are placed? Check out some measurements I did if you'd like, this is pretty bad LP though, hopefully new LP will yield better results.

    Crossover, speaker alignment, room equalization - what do I start with?

    Thanks for the video, that looks great, I will check it out Friday :) It should add up to 1.0, but I am using digital negative pre-amplification on all channels, so there is literally zero chance of clipping, but yes that was my mistake, never meant for it to exceed 1.0 Since I am using my 5.1...

    Any possibility to "hang" acoustic treatments?

    Yes, I am on Win11 with USB sound card. I am using EQApo along with PeaceGUI extensively, upmixing and downmixing, digital crossovers, parametric EQ, channel delay for mains, negative pre-amplification to minimize chances of digital clipping, I tried convolution in an attempt to fix impulse...

    Any possibility to "hang" acoustic treatments?

    I used the website, but I can't understand most of the things, is there an explanation page somewhere? Ok so would hanging the foam I already have, let's say 50 cm from the back wall, make a notable difference? Or I could slap two 10cm foam panels together to make it 20cm, and hang it 50cm from...

    Any possibility to "hang" acoustic treatments?

    I thought so, I don't think I can sensibly treat bass, I did some reading - The Complete Guide To Bass Traps And Bass Trapping Jesco Lohan | AcousticsInsider.com - and based on that, I would require an enormous amounts of bass traps to even make a dent, I was looking at bass traps on...

    Any possibility to "hang" acoustic treatments?

    I am starting to treat my room because it's bad: it's basically a square - 410x430 with 260cm ceiling. I put some very basic 2 inch acoustic foam on a wall behind me just to get rid of an insane echo while talking, clapping etc, this helped immensely especially with vocals which became much more...

    Crossover, speaker alignment, room equalization - what do I start with?

    Yes, those are room modes. I am on Windows using EQApo with Peace ParametricEQ. I am applying GEQ on L+R and PEQ from REW AutoEQ on All channels, system-wide. I am downmixing from 5.1 to 2.1 using Peace command window, with these values: Copy: L=0.33*L+0.33*C+0.33*RL+0.134*RR Copy...

    Crossover, speaker alignment, room equalization - what do I start with?

    So new subwoofer arrived, I have tested my entire room, changing listening positions, sub placement, all while measuring each position. Interestingly, I got best response when I face subwoofer cone directly into the corner of my room diagonally across from me. Any other positions had extreme...

    Crossover, speaker alignment, room equalization - what do I start with?

    Thanks for the tips, it is audio,video, games, I was using my old subwoofer from Genius 5.1 sound system and I had 80Hz on subwoofer and 65Hz on mains, seemed to work well and boosted some nulls in 60Hz range that subwoofer could not deliver to my LP, tomorrow I will begin experimenting with sub...
