Currently dealing with similar problem, however I narrowed it down to ground loop. My subs are silent when nothing is connected, but as soon as I plug in RCA, hum is there. What helped a bit was putting everything on the same power outlet, now I can increase amp on subs and there is barely any...

Maybe too many filters with too high Q and boosts? That will make graphs look good, but will smear transients, leaving you with thin and weak bass, have you tried boosting subwoofer gain after equalizing? Can you share filters you used? also all your graphs are nearly identical, is that...

My method: Use pink periodic noise for subwoofer(s) - Sub cal (30-80hz) to target dB (I use 75dB), use Speaker Cal (500-2000hz) for mains to target dB. It is better to measure and equalize each speaker separately (for mains it's for preserving stereo imaging). I discovered measuring subwoofer...

So I have been reading on causes of pre-ringing, learned there are different types of equalization processes, and apparently only linear-phase eq can cause pre-ringing, I don't use linear phase eq, this must be a measurement error right? I listened to some samples of how pre ringing sounds and I...

Thanks, I listened to the first track (Rikimaru?) first in my headphones to get a good reference point, I then played in on my speakers and I couldn't tell the difference, it sounded basically identical, even pushed to uncomfortable listening levels, it was loud, but still sounded fine. Do you...

Here is my mdat file :)

Hello, back with another update. I think I am finally finished, after 3 arduous months of positioning, measuring, optimizing - not a lot of free time :( - I think I am finally done. System sounds amazing, punchy mid-bass, extremely good low-end, I always had problems with the very low-end...

Hey, back with an update. I've finally found a good listening position where MSO has the most to work with. I measured two completely corner-loaded subwoofer placements (as far into the corners as possible) and at 75cm from both walls, using 4 mic positions arranged front-to-back and...

I meant what measurement range do I use for MSO for subs only optimization purposes, I am not using it for mains eq. Thx for the links, will read through.

OK I got it, but that still doesn't tell me which of the delays is the correct one, I assume MSO will be working with that absolute value, so which one I feed to MSO?

Where are you calculating these values from? 7ms with 200hz vs 8.2ms with 20000hz is 1.2ms? Or is that the wrong delay shown and there is some other place to read the delays?

Took measurements using 200, 500, 20000hz range, 1,2ms difference, also included mdat file, why is this happening? Mic position is unchanged, only changed frequency measurement range.

Thx! another question if you wouldn't mind :) what is the correct way to measure subwoofer when using acoustic timing reference? do I set measurement frequency range to operating range of the subwoofer? SVS is 260hz -+3db, do I measure that range? or full range? there is a difference in the...

Cant really do that since MSO calculated the delay to put on closer subwoofer. How would I go about this? Measure mains and subwoofer array separately and use alignment tool? Should crossover be in place?
