Great. Will it do this based on Leq? For instance, can I have it use Leq to average it out a specific signal level and then 0 it based on that. Then subsequent SPL measurements using Leq will read 0 if matched?

This sounds interesting and I'd like to understand better. I like to use the SPL Meter and generator so that I can balance all my speakers to the same SPL. Currently I make a note of the front Left speaker's SPL reading, and then change the trims on the other levels to have the same reading...

Matthew and all - just a quick line to let you know that John graciously added the feature request to 5.19 beta 9, released today, that I originally suggested at the beginning of this thread, to help protect tweeters during sweeps should the master volume inadvertently be set too high. I think...

John - just wondering if you considered what I wrote in the last paragraph, above?

Great! A few q's please: 1. Sorry if I missed it in the release notes, but is this bug fixed in this release: https://www.avnirvana.com/threads/spl-meter-bug.2443/#post-21204 ? Perhaps that is covered by the last bullet point "ASIO input data could time out..."? 2. Regarding the changes for...

Great, thanks! I'm pretty sure that if I start the SPL meter before the output its fine, until I change the output to another channel. So the workaround in the meantime has been to stop the meter before I change the output each time, then restart the meter. Perhaps that is what you are saying as...

SPL meter bug: 1. Turn on SPL meter so it is taking readings. 2. Bring up Generator and select Pink Noise. 3. Choose HD Audio HDMI #0 1. 4. Hit play on generator so pink noise starts. 5. Press stop on generator. 6. Change Output on generator to HDMI out #2 (or any other selection besides the...

Thanks for all the great graphs and additional information - its really helpful. Sorry for the long break since my last post - got busy with work. Here's an interesting experiment I did over the weekend with two channel (plus subs) listening of Tidal MQA. I listened to various tracks with...

Thanks! I'll dig more into those graphs and posts tomorrow. In the meantime I wanted to ask you an overarching question I have. With regards to getting rid of the flattening of the curve and using a custom curve that has some rolloff - I am concerned this is going to sound too dull when I drop...

Yes I guess that is what I was asking - if it can change the intended sound characteristics. Sounds like Yes. I'm not sure I totally follow that. Since both increase by 6dB why does it matter? Also please note in case you think it changes anything - at the first point of reflection on both...

Thanks. Does it make sense boosting the on-axis frequency response, as Audyssey is doing, can "undo" the design of the speaker in terms of the balanced directivity that KEY so painstakingly designed and implemented?

Great, thanks. Also I was do a little research on the Uni-Q driver which is the tweeter in my speakers. If you have a moment, please see this: http://us.kef.com/explore-kef/kef-innovation/uni-q . Note this in particular in the article: I think a point my engineer has tried to make to me is...

Thanks. This is all starting to make a lot more sense now. It seems that I have a system designed to play at or very close to reference just fine, but without consideration for EQ. Throw in a screen and AT fabric that creates up to -5dB rolloff and another 3-5dB of rolloff due to some speakers...

Thanks for that background. I think you will agree that KEF makes very high quality speakers so I do not think it is a problem with the speaker design. But rather something in my system that is pushing it over the edge. My feel at the moment is that it is a combination of pushing the system to...

You can imagine how adding this much boost can put the tweeter at risk, especially in a system where I am verging on pushing its limits even without the boost! As I understand it, I think Dirac may work differently and not try to flatten out the power response curve like Audyssey is doing. I...
