Room Correction in latest 3.2.2 Wiim app. Wiim Pro firmware 4.8.717049
Using Multiple Measurements (Beta) and Left/Right channels separate.
The Left channel does the sweep 3 times but the Right channel only once, so no multiple measurements for this channel. That has to be a bug I think. Tried multiple times.

Yes, I have had the same experience as you many times. I have already reported this to the team. The team is planning to enhance the WiiM servers and improve the stability of the RC.

However, if you encounter any problems, please send feedback in the WiiM app immediately. A device log will be sent to help resolve the issue.

Hi HansD-NL,

Thanks very much for your feedback. This is a known issue, and we will fix it in the next app update, which will be released this week.

 

[Erebus]

Our team will check if we can support the lock screen control for Alexa. Please stay tuned!

Hi @WiiM Team, is there an update on this query please?

 

[Lomax_hjs]

How do you turn off your WiiM in the app?

How do you turn off your WiiM in the app?

Other than setting a standby time, you can’t.

Strange isn't it

Send feedback to WiiM through the WiiM Home app. The more people ask for this, the more likely it will be implemented.

Hi @WiiM Team, is there an update on this query please?

Hi @Erebus ,

We will support this feature in one or two weeks. Please stay tuned!

That is amazing news. Thank you very much.

The new Qobuz layout looks great but in the albums section not all albums are displayed. For example the earliest album by David Bowie is the Labyrinth soundtrack which is from 1986 and Frank Zappa also only goes to 1983.

MinimServer supports the Group tag as a convenient way of grouping and playing tracks inside an album. For an explanation see

Browsing your library - Groups and works

I've been making extensive use of this in my library. When browsing in the legacy view I see a hierarchy: looking inside the album shows me the groups, and selecting a group then shows me the tracks and allows me to easily play them as a group. In the new view each group appears as a separate album. I prefer the way the legacy view handles it, and have switched back to the legacy view for this reason.

On a related note I often want to play, for example, the middle four to eight tracks in an album, and in the WHA this is tedious at best and error prone at worst. Which is why I like the Group tag so much: all I have to do is hit one button.

I hope that legacy mode will stay unless the new view will have major improvements.

Still waiting for the battery drain fix or a way to turn off the lock screen widget which will do the same thing

MinimServer delivers groups as albums within albums, so I do understand how this has introduced a problem.

The use of DiscSubtitles also causes problems in "Advanced" mode as tracks are ordered by track number so you'll see 1,1,2,2 e.t.c.


Not only do you lose the AlbumArtist index in "Advanced" mode but the Artist index doesn't handle multi-value tags so it compounds the problem further.



Legacy mode still has its problems as Groups and DiscSubtitles are displayed out of order (before all the tracks). I created a ticket for this a long time ago, so feel free to raise a new one if it bothers you.

Unfortunately this release has introduced some problems with Legacy mode too. Albums with DiscSubtitles now have the incorrect album artwork displayed and are missing DiscSubtitle images (old vs new image).


Fortunately I'm on Android so have much better alternatives, but I may create tickets for the legacy issues (no one should be using "Advanced").

I evaluated some MMM room correction results using MMM in REW.
1. MMM Target B&K Frequency range 30-500


2. MMM Target Harman Frequency range 30-500


3. Sweep L/R Target Harman Frequency range 30-500


They don't look too bad and better than the L/R channel result in the last image in my opinion.

This was my first test and I may have done it wrong.. I look forward to your test. Thank you.

I did a few tests with MMM in RC today, first let me show how results of two measurement attempts compare:



IMHO reasonably similar, but TBH I'd expect even better alignment. Still, for the purpose of RC it is quite OK.

I also measures the pre- and post-RC response with REW using the same microphone:


Unfortunately the frequency axis scale is not identical in WHA and REW so it can be difficult to compare visually - it seems to me WHA doesn't use the same log base for the entire 20Hz-20kHz frequency range.

Still, if we make the effort compare individual sections of the diagrams REW result IMHO matches very close to WHA RC Test #2 plot, which is great!

Lastly, I was wondering what exactly the sweep (single point) does prior to the periodic sweep noise (MMM) so to test it I turned off my sub before the sweep, but turned it back on for the noise/MMM step in the RC process.
This was the result:


As you can see, the result contains only the frequencies above the crossover, even though the sub was active during the MMM part.

So to me that seems to indicate that the WHA RC algorithm doesn't take MMM measurement into account for the bass range; it seems to only use the sweeps there.
@RyanWithWiiM Can you confirm this? Do you know why this kind of implementation was chosen? Is it because sweep is more resistant to interference from background noise? What about the higher frequencies - are those then MMM only? Thanks!

 

[slartibartfast]

There is definitely a different result when using MMM compared to a single sweep. Red is MMM, green is single sweep. Both measured using MMM in REW.

How do you turn off your WiiM in the app?

Turn off?!? This is a network device that should be on 24/7. By design cannot be turned off.

Excellent observation.

One thing I would like to ask you.
MMM measure multiple locations with pink noise and then evaluate one location with a sweep at the end, is this an appropriate way to do it?

 

[dominikz]

There is definitely a different result when using MMM compared to a single sweep. Red is MMM, green is single sweep. Both measured using MMM in REW.

Yes, in low frequencies the two methods will give quite similar, but not 100% identical measurement results. The difference can be larger or smaller, depending on how big of an area you cover when doing MMM.

Here's a comparison of both methods in my system (after EQ):


As you can see, the differences in the low frequencies (<400H, i.e. where I do room EQ) are mostly in the 1-2dB range. There's more difference at higher frequencies, where MMM averages-out the (audibly benign) comb filtering caused by reflections.

One thing I would like to ask you.
MMM measure multiple locations with pink noise and then evaluate one location with a sweep at the end, is this an appropriate way to do it?

As you can see above, the bass range correction results translate reasonably well between the two methods, so it is fine to use either method in principle.
However, evaluating MMM correction results with MMM would give a better match to the "predicted" curve shown earlier when the filters are calculated.
Personally I prefer to use the same measurement method when building correction filters and evaluating the results.
