![]() If it helps I can upload some images for recommendations of treatment. Sorry for asking a lot of questions but you guys know your stuff and I want to make sure I can do my best to get my room sounding good.Īny info anyone can give would be fantastic! ![]() Could you give an idea of what dB SPL I should be playing back the sine waves at? What speed I should be playing them at? Should I stick to only testing the low end or carry out measurements upto the nyquist freq?Īlthough I have Fuzzmeasure on my mac would it be advisable to maybe try out Room EQ Wizard also? The only thing I think I know for sure is where to position the mic. ![]() I've never done this sort of testing before so is there any pointers that you could give me that would ensure I am going the correct way about things? Even a link to a tutorial maybe? I don't have any spare cash for purchasing a mic just now but i'm pretty sure I can borrow one from a friend so i'll look into this first. I think i'm going to take a step back here and go through the correct procedures as advised Ethans site has a lot of very useful info on there (some of which i've been using already). Thanks for the advice there Chris and the link to Ethans article. I can take some images of the room if required but I was really just looking at what the information in the graph means and how I should be reading it. I'm looking at putting 4" broadband traps in each corner (with the possibility of the ceiling corners too), some 2" traps at the early reflection points to the side of my monitoring position, above me on the ceiling and to the rear of the room. 50 dB SPL at the time of the measurements. I have Mackie MR8 monitors and an M-Audio Fast Track Ultra Interface.įor the first 2 images that I uploaded I played back a short sweeping sine wave (1,000ms) ranging from 20 Hz to 20 KHz.įor the third image I played back a long sweeping sine wave (10,000ms) ranging from 20 Hz to 300 Hz. The mic was connected to an input on my audio interface. I set up the mic at ear level at my listening position relative to my monitors. I know an SM58 is not the correct type of mic to be using but would it give a hint as to what is going on in my room or is it a complete no no? I can fill in more info on my setup if needed, feel free to ask Even a link to a typical looking graph response would be great. I have looked through the manual and at a few sites online but can't seem to find anything in-depth or similar to what I need to know. Looking at the last graph, I know it's not exactly that flat a frequency response but i'd be lying if I said I knew exactly what was going on here!įrom what I can see, the left monitor appears to have a better response than the right. ![]() This graph contains details of the lower frequency range test with the isolation pads underneath each monitor. ![]() This graph contains details of the full frequency range test again but this time I have fitted isolation pads (Auralex Mopads) underneath each monitor to isolate them from my workstation. This graph contains details of the full frequency range test that I did first. I've just done a few measurements using Fuzzmeasure and would like some help if possible understanding what the graphs are telling meįirstly, I only have the evaluation version of the software so was limited to 2 measurements per session so I have done 3 in total which are on separate images that i've uploaded.Īnd secondly, I did the measurements using an SM58 as this was the only mic I had suitable for the job (although I know a LDC would have been better).Ĭan I also just point out that the room hasn't been treated yet, this is why I'm doing these tests to see how good/bad a starting point I have. ![]()
