Gearslutz.com - View Single Post - Help interpreting waterfall graph of my room acoustics?

enroper · 14th December 2007

I'm hoping somebody can spell out what I'm seeing in this graph.

I used Room EQ wizard, with an SPL meter sitting on a tripod in the 'sweet spot' of my mix position. I calibrated everything as per the directions, and am using KRK RK-5 monitors.

My room is about 12x18, not exactly sure. I've attached both the waterfall and a rough layout of my room.

No treatment is in place yet. This weekend I plan on installing DIY basstraps with OC 703 equivalent in all 4 corners, and 2 panels of 2" directly behind my seat at the mix position.

So two questions

a. what is this telling me
b. when i treat my room, what should I be looking for on the new graph.

I know this is a loaded question, any help would be appreciated
