Little bit sad about my new Sound Lite...Help?

[Chris1974]

To the OP: Leave the Sound Lite turned on, playing music or some white noise for a few days. It seems to need ‘break-in’ more than others.

Assuming the speaker is some distance from side walls, measure the distance from the center of the speaker to the rear wall - call it L. Calculate the attenuated frequency f:

f = 340/(2L)

where L is in meters, and f in Hz.

(Unit conversion: 3.3ft is about 1m. 12 in about 0.3m.)

Using the WHA parametric EQ, apply a PK boost at the frequency f, start with a gain of +2dB and a Q of .4 to .8. Adjust that in small increments listening. It should produce a pleasantly balanced sound.

Try it and see if you like it better.

That...Sir...is insane. Feels like the real gangsta audio stuff
My speaker is getting better and better day by day.
The frequency calculation and the adjustments...Wow, it is doing something very good to my sound.
Best thing for me was the decision to ask for help here.
The most valuable effect for me is that I learn this kind of stuff bit by bit.
I'm really happy now with the sound in my small kitchen, may not be perfect, but I will improve my skills with the PEQ for sure.
Thanks a lot, it was a great pleasure to receive help from you.
Cheers, Chris

Thanks for the screenshot. From this result, we can see that the microphone measurement shows no excessive bass, meaning RoomFit is not correcting the bass.

Based on your listening experience, you might try the following to identify the frequency causing the boomy sound.

Edit your saved RoomFit profile and change bands 8, 9, and 10 as follows:

After making changes, turn off Bands 9 and 10, then press the Save button to save.

Next, listen to some music and check if the boomy sound has been eliminated. Then, turn off Band 8 and turn on Band 9. Listen to the music again to check. Next, turn off Band 9 and turn on Band 10, then check the sound.

This should likely pinpoint the cause of the boomy sound.

The above bands 8, 9, and 10 are (rough) filters designed to reduce the three peaks in the correction results you submitted.

Edit: If you try this, remember to save every time you edit the profile.

I would like to repeat myself...

With your kind help I was able to learn so much in a short time about the PEQ
The last hour was making me smile more and more. I am no longer afraid about the PEQ and I have already achieved very good results regarding the boomy sound.
I followed your instructions exactly, tried a few things out, and I can't even say in detail which adjustment caused this significant improvement.
The most important thing for me is that I now know how to help myself and have a small idea of how I can use the PEQ to my advantage.
I've only just started experimenting with it, but I know that a lot of good will come of it. In addition to the numbers, I now also use the manual method to modify the curve and listen simultaneously. Great fun.
Thank you so much for your kind efforts to help me. It's a great success for me.
Cheers, Chris
