so i recently acquired the sonarworks 3 studio monitor/room calibration kit.
i did 3 tests on my JBL's and 3 with my Yamaha HS7's.
it showed me the corrections i would need to make to get a flat frequency response in my room..
here are two screenshots of the frequency spectrum response I'm getting in my mixing position. one shot of the JBL's on shot of the Yamaha's.
my main question for this thread is what can i further do to my room to naturally acquire a flat frequency response?
here are my current acoustic treatment specs:
room specs:
-fairly large/mid sized room
-GKI acoustic bass traps in the front two corners near the monitors
-Foam pads underneath each set of studio monitor to decrease bass signal.
-bed symmetrical. everything symmetrical
-foam bass traps spread along the ceiling corners evenly (because they dont work in corners........)
-fair amount of foam and chopped up foam bass traps spread across the walls and ceiling in "key reflection points".
looking at the frequency response again that sonar works gave me my room is giving me a nice 6db downward bell curve just above 1k on the frequency spectrum...i wonder if this is because foam or something else.
but most of the other hi frequencies beyond that seemed to be relatively flat. i'm not sure if this AS WELL could be because of all the foam or not but I'm happier about that section.. albeit not perfect.. :/
as for the low frequencies going up it makes a nice shift towards a plateau right after 100hz all the way to seemingly 500hz i have no idea what could be the cause of this giant low to mid boost in such a long sustained manner.... but i definitely probably need to find a good solution to this.
so if anyone has any thoughts on how i could further treat my room to naturally flatten the frequency spectrum it would be greatly appreciated..!!
thank you
