Wiim Ultra Room EQ for other AV product

[rccarguy]

The room EQ in my av processor (Tonewinner AT-300) is lousy (boosts +12) the room EQ in the Wiim is much better, with more adjustability.

So instead of using the Tonewinner EQ I've copied what the Wiim app PEQ has calculated into the AT-300 EQ preset- so for every "movie" source it will use PEQ. For Wiim Ultra source, I have disabled the Tonewinner EQ as I wouldn't want to sets of EQ (plus I also use the Wiim PEQ to select which set of speakers I use)

so I've imported these

I guess I could go through "pair" of speakers, front height, rear height, side, surrounds, front weight, etc. I presume I'd have to use a multi channel preset to duplicate the signal to the speaker I'm testing

Why is it still applying boosts even though I have set to cut only and set max gain to 0.5db?

What's New:

1. Room Correction & EQ Integration: Room Correction and EQ now work together to enhance your listening experience (requires upcoming firmware). Learn More >

It seems a new RC feature was silently introduced in this version as well; something that was requested several times so far: "Cut-Only Mode".


The name is IMHO a bit misleading because one might think that with this enabled RC (RoomFit now) doesn't use any positive gain filters at all. However, RC does still use positive gain PEQ filters (in line with the separate...

There's no overall boost.

It's still applying some boosts, like 1-5dB.

I don't see no 5 dB boost in your screenshots. There is positive gain, but no absolute boost (above maybe 0.5 dB).

oops sorry not 5db not sure why 5 appeared but it's still boosting 3db

Which is absolutely fine for some cases. Not all dips in the frequency response are due to cancellation, where positive gain is useless and thus to be avoided.

The real news is that this new setting obviously helps in safely avoiding digital clipping.

It should respect the maximum positive gain though. Although it often used to four 0.5dB filters to obtain 2dB
