Roon Room Correction- Who Has used it? Opinions please!


Does the Roon Room Corrections system produce good results?

Is a Mic required? 

Software purchases?

 

Anyone done this please advise.

I haven't done it, as I am rather old school and don't want to introduce unknown/unwanted time smears to my music.

I do know that many have used a mic for calibration. 

As for software, some use apps on their smartphone.

 

Please don't think I am a Luddite, but digital room correction is not a panacea for all the sound reproduction issues. It masks obvious issues, but in the end, is not the cure.

If you are looking for a simple sound correction for issues with a simple (non critical listening) system. Roon correction should be an easy way to go.

But, if you are really serious about sound reproduction, I would advise against it.

My 2.4 cents

AFAIK, you need to get a mic and measurement program to see what the response is. Then you can enable EQ in Roon to change it (say to eliminate nulls). At present, Roon is not a complete solution, as it neither measures nor generates the filters used to perform DRC. It will take filters and apply them.

I have used its EQ for other purposes and found it quite good.
