How does your system tuning process work? Mine was fine-tuned by experts. Sure, I love it.
However, I’m considering getting a second one.
Tell me the tricks you always use. In what ways is your system fine-tuned? Where can I find a large soundstage? Is the nearby noise pleasant to you? So, how exactly do you put the music through its paces?
Since there isn’t a single genre that fully satisfies me, I switch it up every other week and tune using test tones and my favorite songs by ear.
This thread is going to show who the bassheads are VS who the SQ guys are simply by their answer to what they consider “tuning”.
Hardware, software, and a digital signal processor (DSP) to -
Get a consistent frequency response across all channels by adjusting and leveling them.
We need to change the delay for every channel.
Do you know any good resources for learning how to do this with req wizard? I really want to tune my DSP but using the software is kind of overwhelming
The Kicker Key 200.4 is a microphone-controlled automated digital signal processor that I own. It was a ten-minute process, but the result is fantastic.
Never give it more thought than you need to. Listen to the tunes and see if you can locate every rattle. Pursuing an interminable quest for flawless SQ, an audiophile mindset will cause you to tune out all music and focus solely on the equipment.
My Skoda will soon have a system installed again.
The distances between the front-mounted tweeters and woofers will determine the tuning. Put them on hold. Starting with basic XO at 5k for the tweeters and moving on to LP at (possibly) 3.5k for the woofers
Next, the woofers will use HP, which is 80Hz at 24dB/oct and 4th order as a baseline. The subwoofer will use LP, which is likely 100Hz at 4th order. After you’ve listened to a few of songs, adjust the gain equalization to your liking. The full list of demos is down below; some of the tracks include “Paradis,” “Made you look,” “Viva Las Vegas,” and “done for me”—all of which have clear voices and bass.
White noise may be generated using REW with an estimated level adjusted for each channel separately.
After that, REW will do an EQ sweep to see if there are any recommendations, and if there are, you may adjust the XO points or DSP or amp gains as needed.
provide some recommendations, run the sweep once more, verify, fine-tune, and listen to further music (maybe the same or different).
Restart the level check after that.
Take a few moments to listen as you drive, evaluate the good, the bad, and the ugly, and then make some adjustments.
It’s important to remember that the tuning must be at sensible levels in order for it to make sense afterwards. I need to set my system to around listening loudness for the best results; otherwise, it will give me less than ideal results.
In order to avoid bassing the back seat until tomorrow, when it is utilized, I will also establish a second preset without the sub. After that, it’s probably a good idea to drop the front cutoff from 80 to make sure they catch everything while it still sounds
I like using a multimeter when my amplifier output is more than what my subwoofer can manage, and an oscilloscope when the subwoofer can handle more power than what my amp can provide. However, I’m sure there are many other perspectives on this matter.
I’m interested too as I nearly have my system complete and will need to dial it in.
