UMIK-1 arrived

[khuntim]

UMIK-1 in the house, I downloaded the calibration files and used the iPad with the microphone pointed directly at the speakers sitting on the coffee table using the supplied tripod closer to speaker level than ear level. used 30hz-500hz, crossover 90hz, B&K

So far I found myself turning the sub down 3 to 6db, it's a little boomy for my taste. I probably have something wrong.

mid-field listening. My ears are about 2m/6.5ft from the speakers. REL Tzero mkiii, small 6.5" I think.

I'm trying the optical input but I've also used the AUX input to the speakers.

I'm confused on what volume the Ultra should be when I calibrate, I set Ultra at 80 and the speakers maybe 60%. If I use the speaker volume, the subwoofer stays the same level and that doesn't work.

Mostly background listening or TV use, always looking for a speaker upgrade. Headphones more often for music.

The Shanling S0 speakers look interesting, not able to hear them. The Adam D3V do not have a remote and no wake-on-signal.

the Amp Ultra with some passive speakers seemed interesting, not too much that would fit this space. the shelf is 13"/33cm deep.

I tested with a few tracks, and Tidal wasn't cooperating tonight lol

Your summing looks reasonably decent at the 90Hz crossover point, although there's a null just above it close to 100Hz, so you may wish to try manually adjusting the speaker/sub delay up or down a few milliseconds to see if you can reduce that null. For your massive dip at ~55Hz, this is likely caused by SBIR cancellation at the main listening position off of the wall behind you--perchance you are sitting close to 5 feet from the wall behind you? Alternatively, is it possible your Rel sub is placed approximately 5ft from the wall behind the system? Either one of these scenarios can result in an SBIR dip around 55Hz or so. The dips around 500Hz and 750Hz or so are likely driven by ceiling interactions.

The massively massive peak at 25 Hz looks like the lower frequency limit for RoomFit was set too high. This should surely be tamed.
