Analyzing control room question
"jw" wrote in message ...
Hi All.
I just had a run through of my recently renovated studio control room with a
Rane RTA/pink noise gen.
Basically I sent the pink noise through the mixer/monitors placed the test
mic (came with the rta) at mix position. checked the volume with a dbmeter
at around 85 db C weighted, and set the rta for same.
What I see is basically flat (at 3db window) response from 63 hz to 2.5 khz,
but then all above 2.5 khz drops off the meter after that.
Question : Am I doing this correctly? The room sounds fairly live (not
completely dead), I would have thought the high frequency stuff would be
flat also to a certain point.
Should I adjust the high end response (3db boost 2.3 khz shelf) on my Event
20/20ps?
And how should I calibrate my subwoofer? I set its crossover at about 80 hz
or so but it still sees some frequenceis above that point no matter what the
crossover is set to.
I want to make things better not worse.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Jason - Does your Rane RTA have finer resolution than 3 dB? If so,
use it!
Now about the "lack" of HF, are you sure your monitors are functioning
correctly? Are you sure the Calibrated mic is still in calibration?
What about the mic cable connecting the 2, is it 100%?
