Two comments, the low frequency response you measured, while not excellent, is actually quite good. The two dips in response are not particularly serious and you have no real peaks. As a rule peaks are much more objectionable than dips in frequency response. You should play around with speaker placement to see if you could further smooth out the sound. Second, refer to the following: http://audiogo5.iserver.net/cgi-bin/fr.pl?htech&983682086&read&keyw&zzradio=shack, it gives the corrections for the Radio Shack meter.
Bass in my room isn't good? Help
Hi,
I just measured the bass in my room by using the Radio Shack'sound Level Meter (analog)and Stereophile Test 1 (track 20 to 31). All I got for the bass requencies aren't looking smooth, and here is the result
1Kz = 78.5db
200Hz= 78
160Hz= 71.5
125Hz= 78.5
100Hz= 76
80Hz = 76
63Hz = 71
50Hz = 71
40Hz = 79
31.5Hz= 75
By looking at the result, I can see the problem happens at 160,63, and 50Hz. However, when I bought the Buster bass trap, they told me that thier bass trap can control down to 40Hz. My JMlab mini monitor can goes down to 57Hz, so I have to use a JMlab sub which can goes down to 30Hz, and my Classe ssp25 has the cross over requency of 80Hz. Does anybody have any solutions for this problem? I have only 2 Echo bass trap (6'tall), do I need more?
Thank you very much
DT
Ps: I set the meter C weighting, Slow, Range 80. Vollum on my pre-amp was -20db, and the meter was on my seat as same height of my ear when I sit.
