How to use Room Correction?

I like many others I'm sure, will be taking their first steps into room correction using an iPhone,and the new Wiim app. My question is, do I manually set the frequency of the crossover and volume on my subwoofer on my 2.1 system , and then run room correction, or does the it work it out itself ? Very confused, many thanks
You set up the crossover frequency, the sub level and the required delay manually. Room correction doesn't tackle these settings.
 
Theres actually a very important point wiim left out in the guide. There a feature. in the iphone for the “mic mode” (accessible in the control center while speaker on, on a call). Theres 3 settings. Voice isolation, normal and wide spectrum.

Since release the wiim room correction didn’t work for me. Collapsed everything into speaker sound like a small Bluetooth speaker. it was because I had voice isolation on the mic mode (because I prefer it on phone calls filters out the background noise.) Once I turn to normal everything in room correction started working. I wonder if wide spectrum would yield better results even or same problems
 
You're right, it's important. I didn't pay attention to that. Wiim should determine that and write that information in the application in the RC section.

If the setting is only available while the speaker is on during a call it seems odd that the same setting would be used for anything else using the microphone.

Its available anytime the microphone is on in speaker mode. When chosen it defaults to that same setting every-time unless changed.

Good find then. I was looking for that kind of settings on Android but didn't find anything. Do they say what Wide Spectrum means?

I don’t have a “mic mode” in my Control Center.
 
Voice isolation is available from iPhone XR and iOS 16.4. It's hard to find. You can only enable it during a call and you have to expand the Control Center.
 
I have a similar room to you and just started playing with RC without much knowledge of how it works or what to expect. My second attempt with full range frequency and my iPad Air 2 produced this which sounds better than without EQ but I would like to understand it in more detail.

Not to crash the party but I would think you need to be careful adding gain it 31 Hz at 6Db and then again at 72 Hz and 110, 534 Hz. Are your woofer’s jumping out of the cabinets? I would just be very careful not to hurt your speakers. It did take away 9Db at 56hz but still, I would be careful of boosting as opposed extracting bass. Obviously it’s sounding more bass heavy. Is it actually better? Or just different. Is it straining the speakers any at all, and taking away loudness. Obviously you know more because it’s your room, but I would just be careful.
