No room correction system can fill the dips / cancellations. The only solution is to change your speaker + subwofer position or change the position of your listening chair or change the room
. Iam afraid no DSP can help here.I have finally set my denon x4800h to LFE only and speaker crossed at 80hz i have no issues now. Music also have good bass now . I yesterday turned on paramatic eq on svs app it was like boom while the music was already playing. I have just got room eq wizard full book printed just got it. I will study this software fully now. It will atleast tell me where are the peaks and nulls and can also help with speaker and subwoofer timing match and all that. i have got dirac live manual printed will study that asll well.Nice u bought umik 1. Ho much did u buy for?
I had the same problem of bass lack (even now it would be there), but now after i shifted woofer right behind me, its cool!
How big is your room? Is it open to a bigger space of some kind or closed?
Nice to know that you are now using those frequency loops!!.
Remember, now that your ears are tuned to subwoofer, you will never be satisfied with full range speaker. Try yourself and let know here.
Caz, i had the same notion. Now i can never be satisfied with my pioneer bass..The itch for more will keep growing...
There is a app called spectroid in android. And there is a youtube video called frquency sweep. Does it ring a bell??!!
ENJOY THE FUNNN!!
i will add one more subwoofer laterNo room correction system can fill the dips / cancellations. The only solution is to change your speaker + subwofer position or change the position of your listening chair or change the room
yes i just got REW manual printed i will study it fully. you are right 1 week ago i put my sub just to right of my chair it was very deep bass. but i dont want to put it there.In my limited experimentation with a small Qacousitcs 8 inch subwoofer, in 3 different rooms. I always ended up with the subwoofer placed right next to my sofa. It is easier to get a smoother bass response closer to the subwoofer than far away from it. So if you have the place, then place the subwoofer closer to your seat, as the AVR can delay the subwoofer to time align with the front and surrounding speakers.
Only in 2 channel systems we try to place subwoofer closer to the main speakers, so that both main speakers and subwoofer are approximately same distance from listening position. As 2 channel amps dont have any time delays or phase correction.
Edit -If placement next to seating position is not possible, then the next best location is in a corner, with the sub woofer placed as close as possible to the walls. The shorter the distance from the walls, the higher in frequency will be the bass cancellation in frequency. By getting this distance small, the frequency of cancellation will be way beyond the frequency the subwoofer is operating in. This will remove SBIR induced cancellation, but there will still be room induced peaks and troughs which have to be dealt via audyssey. Please read the below article for a detailed explanation :
Speaker Placement 101: Is Speaker-Boundary Interference Killing Your Bass?
Not hearing enough bass through your monitors? The distance between your room boundaries and speakers has a huge impact on your bass performance. This tutorial will show you specific strategies for placing your speakers to get a balanced bass response.arqen.com
Iam aware that Iam suggesting two different places to try the subwoofer. As this is the only way to experiment to find out which works best in your room, and at your seating position. However, if you want to remove the guess work and do it more sceintifically, then try the below
Edit 2 - REW is free for a PC. In REW there is a free room simulator. You can measure the dimensions of your room, and enter them in this calcuator, with the location of your speakers, the subwoofer and your listening positon. This is a very simple and extremely easy to use calculator. And as you move the speakers and subwoofer, the calculator will show the frequency response at your seated position. So without having to do sub-crawls etc...one can find the optimum position for thier speakers and subwoofers for the best possible frequency response. Below is a youtube link to the same. All the best

i have put my fronts and subwoofer placements in rew but how do i read all this graph i understand nothingNo room correction system can fill the dips / cancellations. The only solution is to change your speaker + subwofer position or change the position of your listening chair or change the room
It has been years since I last played with this. So my memory is sketchy. I thought the youtube video would cover everything

On the right side bottom screen, you have two options. One is to set microphone position, second is to set your speaker / subwoofer position.
In the screen that you have shared, you are on the speaker / subwoofer screen. Change to microphone position screen and set your listening position as the microphone position.
Then in the speaker / subwoofer screen, click on " combine main and sub at main mike position".

Unclick all these options, and only keep "main clicked".
Now the graph you have at the top, is showing the frequency response of the combined output of both speakers and subwoofer at the microphone position ( which is your listening position ). The graph is self explanatory with frequency on the X-axis and amplitude on Y-axis. Here you can see that you have peaks at 45, 58 and 74 hz. And nulls or cancellations at 78, 100 and 115 hz. As you move the position of your listening chair in this program, these peaks and dips will change.
So how the graph should look like? IdeallyIt has been years since I last played with this. So my memory is sketchy. I thought the youtube video would cover everything

The ideal graph will be a straight line from 20hz to 20000hz. And that is impossible to get in any domestic room. Very few studios or anechoic chambers acheive it, and that is after spending a few million dollars.
Change to microphone position screen? do u want to press this button?It has been years since I last played with this. So my memory is sketchy. I thought the youtube video would cover everything

Yes...press that button. This will show you what you are actualy hearing. Which is the combined output of your speakers and your subwoofer.
When I mentioned run your speakers full range, I meant untick that box, which mentions the crossover as 80hz. This is only a simulation anyway. Will show you what will happen with different crossover frequencies and placements etc....
distance from mains means? distance of speaker subwoofer or tv unit?
which subwoofer position you find best?
Hi again
its not actual measurement. i ran room simulator onlyHi again
The brain will fill in the dips, it is psychoacoustics. So we can discard the dips and only go for the curve with the lesser and smoother peaks which is the green curve that you have. The peaks on the green curve seem to have been smoothed already a bit. Did you run any kind of room correction on it, is it like this in the simulation itself.
Coming to your first question regarding the main position, sorry I have to watch that video to remember what it is now after all these years.
I will add @vineetrad for better suggestions than me
getting ascendo 12 active vented at 80000 should i add it with svs 2000 pro or not
80000 where. Is it sv12 or any other model
Mrp 130000
Where you are getting it
