![]() ![]() But despite the name it can’t fix most real acoustic problems. ![]() And it lets you get away with some things (most notably, mismatched speakers) to a greater extent than otherwise. (That still places it well above many things subjectivist audiophiles obsess over!) It is the cherry on top of a great system, not the means to achieving greatness. Of the above list, I would place room correction at the bottom. The human (ears, experience, expectations, ego, etc.)Īll of the above are more consequential than anything else, assuming the core components are not total garbage, underspecified or malfunctioning. Room acoustics (including positioning of speakers and listeners)Ĥ. Speakers (including subwoofers and crossover configuration)ģ. Not everyone has the room or space to do this, but most people can build some bass traps and something to tame first point reflections.Īn objectivist audiophile would say that room correction is among the three or four grossly consequential parts of the audio chain. It's still a home studio because it's in my home and I don't do anything commercial with it, but it's pretty much mastering grade, all with materials that are available in a builders yard and the special sauce, someone that knew what they are doing. It's basically flat between 23hz (slightly rises at 20hz I believe) and 20Khz - we actually tuned in a more natural response curve. The difference between this and something like Sonarworks (commercial software that I tried for a laugh beforehand) cannot be overstated. To not cause a problem for the listening environment. In the end after I built it was also tuned with DSP by the professional, has what you would normally call 4-way speakers with the subwoofers going to a higher frequency than most would consider normal and even the desk was specifically chosen In the end I built it myself with a huge amount of acoustic treatment (lost a large amount of the volume room), but more that that I enlisted the help of a professional who could do the maths and help with not just the trapping but also the panels that are needed. I am lucky enough to have a spare room in my house, and set out to build a studio (an almost life-long dream) and decided that I didn't want to compromise on the acoustics and spent some time looking into the subject. Properly thought out and tuned acoustic work is what is needed. This type of software, is just a bandaid and really doesn't work very well (though it can work better with headphones). I will try to tune up my FDM 50mm headphone design so that it sounds at least as good as my original resin printed design, and then look at building a better characterization rig. ![]() This hobby work of mine goes slowly, but I appreciate your suggestion. I have some nice little capsule mics I was playing with that would work nicely, and I have a datasheet for those that probably includes a curve. However this little adventure has encouraged me to consider building the little head dummy. Do look at my linked tweet for those FR curves. But for my relative tests I just shoved my podcast mic, Audio Technica AT2005USB up to the center of the driver on one side of the headphone. What I wanted to do was build a little headphone test dummy head. But since I don't have a calibrated microphone, it is more useful for doing relative comparison between my headphone designs than it is for providing absolute numbers. ![]() It was only today that I did any kind of frequency response testing. For the original set I just compared them to my friend's expensive headphones. One characteristic has been completed as an example.Yes I always wanted to do them. After reading Sections 7.3 and 7.4 in the text, complete the table below by indicating whether the characteristic applies to volcanic igneous rocks, plutonic igneous rocks or both. ![]()
