How to use Room Correction?

[ABAstroUK]

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.

I agree totally. I've rerun RC many times since and also added a sub to my setup which has certainly helped the bottom couple of octaves. I've also limited the max gain to 6dB. This is what my PEQ looks like now.

It certainly will not sound bass heavier per se!
In my room it happens something similar. I have modes at around 50Hz. RC is decreasing there massively, but increasing again at 38 and even at 25Hz. (Sub goes down that deep).
Modes are almost gone. Less bass, but more refined. A massive improvement!

Of course it is the one at the bottom, but you have to point it towards the loudspeakers - so - front!

Actually the Mic is on the Bottom Frame on bot sides of the USB-C / Lightning Port. So, Not Front...

Just read! My words. At bottom, moved towards the front of the loudspeakers…
Sorry English is not my first language.

I am confused, do I have to point it towards the corner?

Ps: I removed the handy cover for the measurements…

I use a Mini in my screened porch system. I'm not sure room correction would help in such an open area. Any thoughts?

I don’t think so. Rc works in closed space.

RC works "best" in a closed space, but one could still anticipate "improvements" after running RC for this "screened porch" usage.
The RC Measurements would still highlight the Divergences from the Test Tones, and would provide suggested PEQ to counteract such.
The challenges would be significant - background noise would be hard to control. Running RC at 3AM to avoid Traffic and Wind would likely PO the neighbors - especially the repeated runs to average out results.

Would be interesting to see what RC comes up with…
