Questions for those who are wise in the ways of EQ and room correction and comments for the WiiM techs.
I am in the process of integrating a subwoofer into my main-floor audio (primarily background, social, music). Without diving too deeply into my installation details, I am using a pair of WiiM Pro+s:
One for my full range in-ceiling mains.
The second for the new powered satellite subwoofer in another area of the room where there is no wiring other than power (hence using a separate WiiM device to link it wirelessly with the mains).
Eq-ing the sub has been a bit of a trial without any kind of subwoofer-specific utility in the Pro+, resulting in the WiiM room correction thinking that everything from ~200hz and down (the range that the sub can actually play at all) is wildly loud and prescribing massive cuts. Short version - I can't just blindly apply the automatic results because regardless of setting the frequency range as 20hz to 200hz because it still is referencing everything to a full frequency range and the sub is producing nothing above 200hz.
Comment 1: It would be nice to be able to run the room measurement and correction process for my grouped devices all together at once, and/or specify the functional frequency range of the speaker I am correcting for (stop trying to measure response above the range of my subwoofer).
I do have a stable set of measurements that I have been manually manipulating into a custom correction curve. I guess this is obvious but I am learning that closely-spaced frequency points can result in curves that stack the gain well above your "maximum gain" setting.
Question 1: Does the resulting correction curve represent the actual gain to be applied continuously along the frequency range?
Question 2: What are reasonable limits that should be applied in any curve or at any given frequency? I had been shooting for +8 db max, but some of my manual correction curves are hitting way up in the +12db range.
Thanks for your time.
