How to use Room Correction?

[FunkeyMunky]

It looks fine. Have you tried independent Left/Right room correction? You could also try only correcting up to 400-500Hz. If you save your current results you can easily return to them.

This is the result with individual L/R calibration. And a picture of my setup seen from listening position

I’m going to mock around with the speaker placement over Easter. Is the consensus still to have the subwoofer in the around the middle of the two speakers?

Nope

Use rew room SIM to get an idea where best placement of sub will be

What is the “new room SIM” ?

I wrote a little bit about this subject recently in this post, with a lot more details and explanations regarding placement in this post.

Perhaps you will find it useful!

REW room simulation. REW is Room Equalisation Wizard software for Windows. IIRC it only works for rectangular rooms but I could be wrong.

I have fallen into the RC rabbit hole, and trying to find a way out.
I have changed my listening position and speaker to what would be the optimal choice, forgoing any aesthetic considerations.
So I’m staring from scratch:
- Unilateral triangle position
- Started with sub woofer settings: Wiim SW setup to get the delay right, tried different SW positions, played around with the cross over. Ended up with a satisfactory placement of the SW, set the Wiim Cross over to 110 Hz, and most likely the same setting on the actual SW. Question: should the Wiim Cross over and the SW knob be used concurrently ?
- Then moving on to Room Correction - seems like I forgot to exclude the sub cross over range in the RC setting. So I should only perform RC from 120+ Hz to 1000 Hz?
- Also in doubt about the upper value for range. Consensus seems to be anything above 400 Hz is correcting the speaker sound profile rather that correcting the room.
- My next steps is to play around more with RC, then get started with REV.

Any help or suggestions are great appreciated.
Peace and love,
