I’ve got a calibrated usb mic I can use with my iPad but there isn’t a program like REW for the iPad. Need a laptop for REW.
Thanks for the reply offering to help. I may have to try to get some acoustic treatment to see how that may help and then report back. Originally, I was going to put some treatment behind that left speaker and side wall for the left hoping it would help, but I didn't 'know' there was a problem. Now, I've spent $100 to see evidence of the problem. So, I may have to wait a bit before I shell out more money to try to fix the problem that the money for the mic to get the evidence cost took away from fixing the problem.Looks interesting.
A few things come to mind:
1. Set Audyssey aside for now and get things as good as possible without Audyssey. Otherwise you are chasing your tail.
2. Yes, run one speaker at a time when measuring to see what's going on. Later, you will run sub(S) + one speaker.
3. It's okay if you want to measure full range for now, but ultimately you'll want to do bass management right, cross over to subs, and tackle room modes, so don't worry about things in the mains that look wonky below 100hz. Setting up the right crossover settings (not just frequency choice, but distance/phase, etc) will let you address that:and
4. It wasn't clear to me where that dip is from the diagrams since most are not un eq-ed but it sounds like SBIR may be the culprit. Moving the speakers as close as possible to the front wall, placing thick acoustic treatment directly behind them, and re-measuring to confirm that solved it will tell you more.
4. I don't see a layout, diagram or picture of your room. That plus measurements would help other folks advise you on what else might be useful.
Applying room treatments without a measurement mic is usually not a great idea.Thanks for the reply offering to help.
