    What is the most meaningful way of measuring frequency response? L+R, average of the two channels, or something else?

    Thanks. Adjusting t=0 in the impulse window before combining with the alignment tool works. This level of precision didn't actually end up changing the combined frequency response by anything significant for me but this is good to know. It's more so that I'm trying to achieve a consistent way...

    What is the most meaningful way of measuring frequency response? L+R, average of the two channels, or something else?

    Is there a way to choose delay times with more precision than 0.01 ms? Adjusting by this amount within the alignment tool actually creates a pretty significant change. I noticed that the calculated delay when using acoustic synchronization is much more precise than this and I bet if I was able...

    What is the most meaningful way of measuring frequency response? L+R, average of the two channels, or something else?

    Ok, so if I'm understanding this correctly, I measure L (without the sub), R (without the sub), and the sub, all using acoustic synchronization. And then I use the "alignment tool" to sum L and R with whatever delay makes their top end the most in phase. And then I sum that result with the sub...

    The Expert Guide: How to Get the Best Vocal Clarity from Your Home Sound System

    The fundamental frequencies of the adult human voice typically ranges from 90-155 Hz for males and 165 to 255 Hz for female (90-255 Hz overall). "Fundamental" is a technical sound term and has nothing to do with importance. In my personal experience if these frequencies from 90-255 Hz are too...

    What is the most meaningful way of measuring frequency response? L+R, average of the two channels, or something else?

    I recently learned that when measuring the left and right channel playing simultaneously, differences of mic placement of only a couple millimeters could result in large differences in the measured level of top end, even with 1/1 smoothing applied, due to the phase discrepancies between the...

    Inconsistent top end in measurements

    Thank you for looking at that, John. The mdat I sent is simplified to two measurements because I thought the full mdat I was working on would be confusing to someone who wasn't me but the full story is that before doing either of those measurements, I made a measurement that lines up pretty much...

    Inconsistent top end in measurements

    Yes, I use the left speaker as a timing reference for everything. edit: Also for the record, the individual speaker measurements were both brighter than the measurement of both playing simultaneously, so any excess of treble was there prior to being virtually summed.

    Inconsistent top end in measurements

    I noticed that when I took my individual speaker measurements and virtually summed them with the alignment tool, the result had about 2.5 dB more top end than the measurement I got by actually playing both speakers at the same time. As I recall, I repeated this whole process and it happened the...

    Inconsistent top end in measurements

    Sometimes when making measurements, the high frequencies get measured as 2.5dB louder than other recordings, despite both recordings taking place in the exact same conditions: mic in the same position, receiver with the same settings, all speakers in the same positions. Additionally, I live in a...
