SMS-1 EQ pic

[tcarcio]

Quote..... Thanks, but if you look at the before graph you see that my room produces just one large peak for the entirety of the bass frequencies centered around 40Hz. My biggest issue is actually getting enough dB cut. The before pic was taken after the SMS-1's auto-calibration. IIRC, when I measured the system using a hand-held SPL with no calibration with the sub in the other corner of the room, I measured something like a 38dB peak at 40Hz.[/QUOTE]

I saw that but it is much better to take something away then it is to try to add something that isn't there to begin with. I would rather cut than boost it just works better. IMO.

No doubt about that. But without traps, equalization or both, it's not a very good situation to live with.

Sure is nice when it all comes together like that did Dave.... that was a monstrous peak ya had there buddy....


Frank take note.... when you cut a bunch of freq's to level things off in your room you will lower the output of your sub, but intern you can increase the gain on the sub output, or output level of the SMS as well to compensate.

Dual subs will help alot in balancing the bass in your room, which usually makes it easier to work with the EQ.

Will do buddy, thankyou.

Im glad I have them in place already. Did you apply Audyssey before you did your SMS or was it the other way around?

I'm in a transition phase right now. I've only just got the Integra with the Audessey and I've had to completely redo the system, remove my traps, relocate the sub, etc. I'm very slow when it comes to projects like this, so I'm nowhere near done. My guess would be to apply the Audessey first, then to fine tune the bass response with the SMS-1 because the Audessey affects the whole system and the SMS-1 just the bass.

after you let the sms do its thing can you manually adjust the sliders to say bump up 80-100 hz for chest thump disco?

 

[tcarcio]

The sms can do that 2 way's. You can use the sliders as you suggested and you can also go into the test page and input the specific freq that you want to boost and add up to 6db's.

Yes it is and I'm pretty jealous.
He's got a Corvette too!
And an Integra.

Dave's one of my heroes.

Are you knocking the Integra? You better be talking about the Pre-Pro and not the car.....

Glad I caught this. There's an Integra car?
Anyways I'm not knocking anything. The confused thing was meant to indicate that I'm wondering how one man can have it all. I briefly looked in to his pre-pro and thought it was a fine piece of equipment.

Mine is on it's way by courier. Hopefully by tomorrow i should have it all ready.

Finally recieved it. I decided to do the update and realised you have download it from there website and you need a RS-232 cable. Lucky for me I have a spare with my Pronto Extender and my office computer still caters for the RS232 port. My laptop does not even have one. Did the update worked well will do the setup tonight.
