Room Correction... I like it!

[rccarguy]

So you have removed the correction below the crossover. Sorry but that does diminish the user experience. Thanks.

Yeah seeing results is needed.

Not sure what the problem in your setup is. However - and I am speaking of a setup as you have it with WiiM Pro+ - it works perfectly! Actually better than anticipated!
Let me explain:
I intensially moved the crossover frequeny of the Sub further up to around 75 Hz, and also increased the gain volume of the sub quite a bit. This results in much to much bass at around 50Hz.
The idea behind: As I have small florstanders (ProAcs) the mid/base driver needs to cover a huge frequency range, where the lowest frequencies consume a lot of the drivers attention. This results in a less free and open reproduction of the the mid frequencies… (actually I discoverd that withthis approach)
NOW‘s where RC kicks in! It figures out, that there is much to much base and lowers the gain at the frequeny range at around 50Hz. This means that the florstander gets rid of a lot of the low frequency burden, which the sub takes over because of the higher cross-over alignment!
Result: Much more open representation of the music and perfect alignment of Florstander and Sub! In my case really excellent!

Ps: the mic of a iphone 12 works well and accurate in my case.

That's what I have already done manually, interested to see how the auto EQ function works in comparison using the same approach!

Inspired by this thread I just went through the Room Correction process. Still assessing but seems pretty good. Seems to have set my bass at mid-levels and increased mid-range, then dip to mid-level and then increase higher frequencies a bit.

Hi guys, i will do the RC soon. Should i turn the volume at max i can listen or at a lower level that'll the same results ? (Should i wait for the family to wake up or not is the real question ahah)

It just needs to be loud enough to be well above the noise floor. No need to rattle the furniture .

Thanks for this answer, done it at 15/100, will try at 30 or 50 when family is up but process is really efficient !

Hmm a new issue. I have latest firmware and home app on my iPhone 13 as of Oct 2024. Now when I try EQ it no longer works reporting room is too noisy. Nothing has changed. Also tried a iPhone 14.

Turn up the volume on the device the sweep is playing on.

I'm using an iphone for running room correction. Is there a landscape mode for the Wiim app, because it's really hard to read and details are truncated. (I assume people here posting screenshots are using larger phones or tablets?)

Hi Aquarius, Team

The current Room Correction (RC) does not adjust frequencies below the crossover frequency, regardless of your selected adjustable frequency range. We may revisit this in a future release.

Is this still the case or does RC now apply to frequencies below the crossover frequency?

If not, what is the best approach for those of us who do have subwoofers connected?

It does work below the crossover frequency. There is a toggle switch to include the subwoofer.

Panic over! I cleaned microphones ports and everything is good. Love my WiiM.

Hi, I posted this on a different stream but I am not sure it is the right one so here it is again.

I used the wiim amp, with my iphone 11 pro, to correct my room characteristics with the following result. I used a range of 30-4000Hz.

Why does the curve rise so much above 4k?

How did u clean that ?

I have that too - I am not correcting above 500Hz…

Likely iphone mic inaccuracy. I'd ignore it.

I'm waiting until umik-1 can be connected and used with wiim home app

iPhone may not be good above 4K but external mic like umik 1 can deliver accuracy as it’s one of leading class mic compare to run of the mill mobile mic.

You can already do that.

You just cannot apply the calibration file.

Can a Yeti X can be connected to an iPhone to do the RC ?
