85 Htz killing me!!!!!!

[confooshus]

Same here!!! I have the 6328's also, with alot of bass trapping. I don't have the RMC kit, but when I sweep a sine wave, it pretty much dissappears around 80hz...

Try to move the speakers and the listener position and check if your problem is solved or not

I'm not sure whether this will be good news or bad news, but a 7dB dip is *nothing*. I wouldn't even worry about it unless you really think it's causing problems.

I agree with Weasel, if you want you can try to slide back or forward but that dip really is not that bad.

It also depends on how sharp the dip is, if you put the mic about a foot from the speaker does it flatten out?
Don't expect to get a flat response in the low end range; +-6 to 8db is common.
The main thing is, if you can't correct it, is your aware of it...
Also try this, find the same frequency on a piano, or an open E on a guitar, and see if you can hear the dip...
Pure sine waves are the acid test, real music contains harmonics.
Not saying sines waves are worthless.
And yes speaker position is very important, your "room" is a big part of your monitoring..

I'm in a similar situation and my question is .............
Would it be ok to place an eq in and fix the dip?
I've just ordered some bass traps and I have some other stuff and I don't know how to correct a bad frequency. Just realized my room needed treatment badly.

I think the eq would just make it even worse?

Do not eq the room as you will just end up really messing it up. Sometimes if you have one last peak below 50hz you can us a eq to slid it down a bit but you NEVER increase to fix dip.
Get the bass traps installed and see how your mixes translate. If they do then leave it.
