How to think about room correction settings like frequency range and gain?

What, no advanced settings? You can choose the averaging filter in advanced settings with 1/6 octave being the default.

I believe the Smoothing under Advanced Settings is just for the looks of the curve, isn‘t it? Or does it really affect the applied PEQ in the end? Had the default of 1/6 octave set by the way.

I think it uses the measured curve with the chosen smoothing to calculate the correction. Whether you can tell the difference between between 1/6 and 1/12 is easily tested. I used 1/12 thinking it should be more accurate at low frequencies.

Hi again!

I was wondering, up to where do you all limit the frequency range when using RoomFit? 300, 400, 500hz? I made different profiles today and will later try to find out which one sounds best to me. Also, regarding the new "Cut-Only" mode, I guess it's recommended to enable it, right? Does it influence the recommended +3db gain / -12db?

Have a nice Sunday everyone!

In my case I only want to correct room modes, not the character of the loudspeakers. For me I am not going above 250Hz. Tried 400Hz, not much difference…
For the limitations: Just to cut frequencies might not be enough. But it is good to know that this should be used with care! For me high Q factors are also problematic. It can generate pumping effects. So also this needs to be taken with care.

That‘s why I always say - try and listen…

Thanks, yes I also decided to go for 40-300hz instead of higher, along with +3db/-12db, Max Q 10, Cut-Only mode enabled, 1/12 Octave, individual-channel correction - and personally I prefer flat curve, I realize most people disagree, but maybe it's because my Dynaudio Special 40 + Audia Flight combo is rather laid back and never harsh, so I never feel the higher frequencies are overempahsized when using flat curve, to me it sounds just right
