I discover tone generators and find absolutely crazy readings in my HT room... ie, need for a parametric equalizer.
Before I open that can of worms, can someone direct me to a faq or site where I can learn how to properly evaluate my room?
I created a test tone CD starting at 10 Hz/10 sec sine wave tone, and incremented by 5 Hz to 100 Hz.. then incremented by 10 Hz to 200 Hz, then 220, 440, 880, 1760, etc. for 3 more steps.
I have no idea if that's too coarse or fine nor what volume level to run this test CD. A brief test tonight before the WAF became a problem showed peaks/vallys upwards of 20 dB in my 11.5 x 12 x 8 room with HW floors.
I've seen the posts recommending the trial software which runs on a PC. But my PC is hardly mobile and is about 35 feet away from my listening position. Is that workable?
