    UMIK-X Microphone Array and REW Pro Version

    An amateur question. ;) May I ask where MultiChannel Mic Array can be helpful in home rooms? So far I've been measuring one channel at the time ...

    Understanding sub phase/group delay for placement

    Many months have passed and this is still a superb setup. I did nothing but enjoyed since this awesome learning lessons. I guess I needed some time to adopt because I see now that low frequencies are more detailed when it comes to movies. Thank you again, @jtalden!

    Here's the Harman Curve in case you'd want to import it in REW.

    Understanding sub phase/group delay for placement

    We may not pass but we are sure much closer than before! I'm really glad there are many good people who are willing to help. I focused on multichannel sound lately. Not sure if I need some time to adjust but sometimes I feel like something isn't as it should be at low frequencies. I suppose any...

    Understanding sub phase/group delay for placement

    Oh, I'm not analyzing. I'm making notes so I'll be able to repeat this process some day. Hopefully all by myself. I believe there could be an universal rule. Measure L, R and each sub together. Then: 1. (A+B)/2 for mains 2. time align subs with alignment tool and sum pair if necessary 3. sum all...

    Understanding sub phase/group delay for placement

    So the proper thing would be to use trace artihmetic A+B (instead of (A+B)/2 for step 6? I compared the A+B and (A+B)/2 and I see the sum only 6dB hotter. Did you made the same mistake for mdat in post #68 or are we talking about post #89? Because I liked the sound immediately when your...

    Understanding sub phase/group delay for placement

    Not sure if I follow. The way I see it you used A+B average for plot SX4 (looking at mdat from post 89). If you would have used just A+B it would not be marked with the sign "Trace Arithmetic A,B average", right? I repetead thisprocedure today and got the same result as you did. * Or are you...

    Understanding sub phase/group delay for placement

    OK, much more clear now, thank you. This is really helpful and can save a lot of time instead of doing trial and error experiments. Couple of questions though: 1. I see A+B, (A+B)/2 and average look pretty similar except A+B is louder. You used (A+B)/2 for all actions, I assume this is the best...

    Understanding sub phase/group delay for placement

    Great, this is really helping me learn very useful functions of REW. I tried to play with 2 sub pairs but didn't succeed. I included mains of course (I used trace arithmetic A+B for left+right speaker). I shall practice more, I guess. ;) What is the difference in trace arithmetic tool between...

    Understanding sub phase/group delay for placement

    I see, thank you for the explanation. Yes, listening is important, I've spent too much time looking and relying on plots. Did you use alignment tool along with impulse plots? I tried to use alignment tool with average plots (two subs pairs) but looks like this can only be done for single sub...

    Understanding sub phase/group delay for placement

    Based on my previous attemts phase changes from 75 to 105 didn't make such huge differences. Anyway, I like the first option and now it's time to enjoy listening! ;) Forgot to mention. Tried EQ too (can be seen in mdat file). Interestingly, it is far away from REW predictions. However, I'm...

    Understanding sub phase/group delay for placement

    Okay, took me a while to test everything as I wanted to be thorough. I'm sorry for such long response. You took data from post #68 where phases were set to 75 and 105 but later I changed them in post #70. I'm glad you took that ones. With delay set to proposed 3.8 this is now it. I tested every...

    Understanding sub phase/group delay for placement

    Thank you. I'm really thankful for your time. I hoped for an easier way so I could do/learn this on my own. I've spent countless of hours every day to get there and you perfected my work in one day. Hats off to you, sir! I'm going to check other options you proposed and get back with the...

    Understanding sub phase/group delay for placement

    Yes, you are right, I was just experimenting and was surprised how EQ was affecting the measurements. You are recommending I should look at the mains+4subs curve, then define the PEQ parameters and then apply the same parameters to each sub? I kind of global PEQ? I did and I will. This was...

    Understanding sub phase/group delay for placement

    Wow, thank you so much for that. This is really a nice surprise! I had very little time yesterday so I checked out Option 1 first. What a pleasant surprise. I didn't see until now you proposed different phase settings as well. Here are two measurements with phases unchanged. I don't know why...
