Yeah I definitely had to make a couple tweaks to the crossover afterwards. But for free software I think it yields good results. I’m not expecting it to be as good as my Neumann M1 calibration software that I have in my studio.

You can find the optimum delay by using Room Equalisation Wizard software (REW) and adjusting the delay until the amplitude around the crossover frequency is maximised.

In this update, the volume indicators began to go out after 10 seconds, which is not very convenient. At the same time, I understand that other users are very happy with this. Is it possible to add the ability to choose a constantly lit backlight or one that goes out in the settings?

This has already been announced for a future app update, so the answer is yes.
