    Room Simulation Feature Request

    Hi John, I've been a long time fan and user of the REW software. I love the recent expansion to 8 available subwoofer sources with level and delay adjustments. I have two graphic suggestions, and one feature/adjustment suggestion. 1. Graphically, it would be very helpful if we could "Hold"...

    Need some help with low frequencies and atmos

    Hi Sonnie, Sorry to bring up an older post, but I wanted to quickly clarify this confusion. The confusion here comes from what is being moved vs "aimed." If you had a sub that was a small 6" cube, you could set it on a turntable and watch it spin with no perceptible difference in sound, and...

    Should I worry about overdoing it?

    Jumping into this late, but in the vast majority of closed rooms you will never have too much absorption below ~300Hz. The concern comes more from ending up with an imbalance of high frequency absorption in the process of attacking the rest of the range. By and large, the front and rear of the...

    Surround suggestions

    I just caught this thread today. Thank you for the mention Matt. The in-wall Ember series you heard at AXPONA will be on the website this coming week, along with our other speaker models. At long last we have all of the subwoofer listed with online ordering. The speakers go up next.

    SBIR Matters for Subs Too!

    That all depends on where that subwoofer is located. It might certainly change, but it likely will then cancel at other frequencies. There wasn't quite enough info about the multiple sub locations and their individual contributions to know for sure, but the simple examination is that if every...

    SBIR Matters for Subs Too!

    Hi Matt, I have seen very deep interactions before. Here's a really bizarre one from the often posted about theater of "thebland" on AVS. He has since sold the home and is planning a new theater, but this very old Dennis Erskine design had some unexpected results based on the full rear wall...

    SBIR Matters for Subs Too!

    Thank you for providing some nice examples of what happens when you pull a sub to far from the front wall. You can see this issue even more prominently when you have rooms with relatively open backs or very deep rooms that open to a kitchen or rest of a basement. I had some fun demonstrating...

    Early Reflections Can Disrupt Good Imaging

    Lots of 2" thick absorption (might you have meant Roxull/rockwool?) on too much surface will have as many detrimental effects as positive. Thickness and wide bandwidth effect is key. I strongly recommend looking into some of the fabric track options on the market to greatly open up your...

    Hi Wayne, It was fun to have both you and Dennis swing by the shop, even as we were in post-show recovery mode. It was great to chat outside of the show and go through all the toys around the shop.
