Kef Q7 Meta’s

[Jamesw72]

Hi all,

Newbie question ..

What values should it set in the Room correction screen for my speakers?

 

[rccarguy]

Other people's settings shouldn't be used to it yours. As each room will be different.

I've found it sounds better with EQ off

It's called room correction, not speaker correction

You really need to run room correction for yourself as all rooms are different.

H all and to clarify .. this screen as I presume you set this inline with your speakers specifications ..

 

[Burnside]

Ok, we misunderstood your question. The frequency range defaults used to be 40-4000, and you should try limiting the gain to around 4-5db. Re the curve, try each and see which sounds best to you.

I'd love to have speaker correction independently from room correction, like e.g. Lyngdorf has it.

Take e.g. the spinorama data for your speaker as found on the Internet or perform your own measurements, if you can, and correct ahead for irregularities of the speaker, no matter what room they are in. Apply RC on top of that.

No data for the brand new Q7 Meta so far, unfortunately.

As others have pointed out, your selection of parameters will be 95% independent of the speakers you use.

You can start with the default settings and see how you like them. If you're not satisfied and/or find high positive gain applied (which is mostly not useful), reduce the max. gain to something like 5 dB and possibly reduce the upper frequency limit, maybe to something like 500 to 700 Hz at most.

Then just let your ears decide.
