So after a bit of time away doing other things I finally had some time to sit down and try and measure my room/speaker relationship.
After several failed attempts at trying to get my iMac, Tascam 144mkII, and REW to play together nicely I threw in the towel and got out the Dell laptop and went through the setup and calibration steps again with success!
I was able to make some measurements and it looks like I did everything correctly:
If everything looks correctly done, can anyone help me interpret these? It seems I can use acoustic trapping to smooth out the peaks @ 265, 220, 120, 110, and 50 Hz with some parametric EQ to further pull them down if necessary.
I'm concerned about the nulls @ 180 and 155 Hz though. Will the trapping help that at all or do I need to experiment more with speaker/listener placement?
I've planned on making "superchunks" for the front two corners that would run floor to soffit, and soffit traps running around the entire room. The soffit on the front wall would be roughly 16" x 16" and the soffits on the other three walls would be 16"D x 9"H.
The room is roughly 11'6"L x 10'W x 9'H with a 40"W a 26"L "entryway" into it. It's a home office that I'm using for a computer-based 2-ch music only setup. I've come here to the pro-audio side of things because I like the approach you lot take better than the audiophile approach. Floors are hardwood with an area rug, walls and ceiling are drywall on standard new construction 2x4s. To give you some idea of the room here are a few old pictures:
The speakers have since been moved so that they're @ 60* from the listening position which itself is 38% from the front wall, nearly forming an equilateral triangle.
The speakers are Dynaudio BM5AmkII that are only rated down to @ 47Hz. I have no plans for adding a sub as that would create more issues in such a small room.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
