I´ll use a 2.0 setup to explain.
The recommended mic for DRC-measurements is “omnidirectional”, but this is not really true. Over 12-14kHz it’s not.
Abstract: How does multiple mic-positions get other DRC-results than a single one?
Many of the DRCs today emphasizes to use many mic-positions instead of just one in the planned listening position, to widen the sweet spot.
But arguably the perfect correction can only be in ONE spot, right? Continue reading “One or several mic positions for DRC when You listen alone?”

But how good was it in absolute terms? Not all that good, the bass was VERY limited and weak, as was the power to play loud.
My next try was my new Klipsch Palladiums. Continue reading “DRC with a fine speaker”
