    My REW experimentation in my basement system

    I've been a busy over the last few days rearranging my basement area to accommodate a separates stack that I've been building up. I moved sh?t around again as I wanted to increase the distance between the mains. I got an additional 10" between them and additional 6" away from the wall behind...

    My REW experimentation in my basement system

    I tackled this room again a couple of days ago with my PC and UMIK1 mic. The reason for the tackle is that I could not get a smooth integration with my mains and subs when running my mains set to large with the current sub locations. I tackled this previously in the last week of October and had...

    My REW experimentation in my basement system

    I completed the wall repairs after also moving the surround back channel to align with the center listening position and the front center channel.

    My REW experimentation in my basement system

    Now that I'm living on my own and not having to worry about people bumping into the surround speakers, I have lowered the left/right surround speakers more to ear height but left the single surround back where is for now. I haven't rerun YPAO yet.

    My REW experimentation in my basement system

    I finally found the bass!!!! I read a review on Top Gun Maverick bluray and my bass was hitting as hard as the movie described. This really peaved me off so I went through all my AVR's settings and found the GD culprit. YPAO volume was turned on through all scenes but even worse than that was...

    My REW experimentation in my basement system

    I've played with REW EQ some more and this what I managed to get. I haven't taken any measurements yet as I'm too tired coming from a 75km bike ride. I took a snapshot of the settings as well.

    My REW experimentation in my basement system

    For the EQ, I chose the slope of the bass to be +10db higher between 20 and 30 Hz and be down at 10 db at a 100 Hz based on the Youtube video stating that the lower frequencies (20-30) need to be 10 db louder than at 80 Hz.

    My REW experimentation in my basement system

    The first graph are plots along the width of the couch before EQ via miniDSP. The second graph are plots along the width of the couch post EQ via miniDSP I'm going to have play with the EQ a bit more with the miniDSP as I'm not satisfied with the drop in output from PreEQ to PostEQ and the...

    My REW experimentation in my basement system

    I got the 2nd sub dialed in I think. Here is the raw response before adding a house curve via the miniDSP. The 2nd sub was first gain matched my ensuring the SPL at 50 Hz was the same for the 2nd sub at the 1st subs location.

    My REW experimentation in my basement system

    A miniDSP HD-4 to be exact. I already have one in use in my greatroom setup. I got a deal on the 2nd mini I couldnt pass up on which led to the purchase of the 2nd sub. This upgrade path almost spun out of control on me. :P Im glad I kept my measurements when I only had the one sub because it...

    My REW experimentation in my basement system

    While the weather is nice and the daylight hours are long, I will not spend much time on getting the new sub integrated into the system. Thankfully, I did keep my old measurements when I went through this exercise looking for the best location for the current sub. The new sub location frequency...

    My REW experimentation in my basement system

    Time to update this thread. I thought I had. My apologies. I retook a Full Frequency sweep raising the head of the mic just a couple of inches past the top of the chair back and it cleaned up the measurements. No more deep notch between 85 and 110Hz.

    My REW experimentation in my basement system

    I was about too but my mic is no longer working. When I plug it in to the laptop, the light on the mic doesnt turn on nor does the PC see it. I have a ticket open with minidsp.

    My REW experimentation in my basement system

    I've been busy with REW lately..using it yesterday to find the best location for my single sub. I found it left of the fireplace as shown below. The couch spans 6' across so I took 3 measurements, at the center, 24" to right of center, and 24" left of center. Here's just the bass response with...
