  • @askmatt7283
    @askmatt7283 Před 7 měsíci +4

    I have watched this video multiple times and am now convinced this is the way. Every calibration system I am aware of only measures a speakers frequency response from the main listening position. But this app measures the speaker independent of the room, the speaker from the main listening position and then reconciles the two in order to create a custom target curve that is individual and specific to YOUR speakers in YOUR room. Why use a target curve developed by someone else using some other speakers in some other room when you can have a custom tailored solution particular to your unique needs? Channa called this the disruptor and I think he's right. I have an RZ50 with DIRAC Live and if True Target is compatible with my AVR, I will be a day one customer. Please keep your fans informed. Subscribed 🍺

    • @bledarney1
      @bledarney1 Před 7 měsíci +1

      I would argue that it doesnt make any difference how it measures right at the speaker because that is not what you hear. The only thing that matters is how it measures in your listening area. Its a room calibration - NOT a speaker calibration, so measuring where you listen is the way. Hence why all the best and biggest manufacturers do it this way

    • @TechnoDad
      @TechnoDad  Před 7 měsíci +2

      I've been doing this a long time and I know what it's like to have a tight budget. I remember my first system when I was in High School. It was a hodgepodge of speakers but had a decent Denon AVR for Dolby Pro Logic II. It took a few years, but I slowly earned and purchased the other speakers and had my first 5.1 setup back in the mid-90's. I like to buy expensive stuff when I can, but it's not a prerequiste for performance. Thank you for watching!

    OMG I love this stuff so much! Thanks for teaming up and putting out amazing products. Can you please help with a workflow question?
    *Do we ALWAYS "Exclude Position" in the MultEQ-X app?
    I understand why you did in the video: no Audyssey stuff was run on Channa's system; no EQ was placed on his speakers when True Target was run. But what if the Magic Beans True Target app was recording near field on speakers that did have Audyssey filtering EQ curves applied to them? Since that EQ was coming out during the recording, wouldn't one want to include those filtering curves that produced the original sound signature?
    Then True Target's EQs imported to "lay on top" of what was there to begin with.
    In this case, would we "Include Position"?
    Or... at 6:52 were you going to completely turn off all Audyssey stuff to begin with, to have no filtering EQ on the speakers during your upcoming near field recording?
    *Should we ALWAYS turn off Audyssey / other EQ before using True Target?
    Thanks Joe and Channa!

I have to admit that at a certain point of this process, it gets kind of addictive. You're chasing for a perfect result, a perfect curve, perfect bass, perfect etc. but forget to enjoy what you actually started this for...music, movies, games. Your spatial audio toolkit really helps with adding the last finishing touches after a full calibration. Thx for this disc, love it! All the best to you and greetings from germany!

    Great video, looks like an amazing app. BTW, the inconsistent center channel is probably because its reflecting the sound off of that glass. I would either move the center channel to the edge of that glass or try and cover it with a table cloth or something. Because that center measurement is losing way too much precision. I don't know how it's making its target curve and what its based off of, but I need to find out:) Can you import as target curve instead of PEQ filters?

    • @joentell
      @joentell Před 7 měsíci

      The center is likely due to what you're saying and/or lobing from the MTM design. Your ELAC won't likely have that because of the concentric design.
      Importing the filters = creating a target curve, just a different method. I'm curious if choosing a target curve results in more or less filters vs forcing 10 PEQ's. With the Pro version, we enable exporting to REW with the individual measurements as well as the target curve which can then be imported into MultEQ-X.
      I wonder which would give more precision.

    • @hdmoviesource
      @hdmoviesource Před 7 měsíci +1

      I think the target curve will be more accurate. I've done both ways and the PEQ method was never as good even with over 25 PEQs, it could never match the import target method. However, other room correction systems don't use Audyssey's import target curve feature. A target curve on other systems is a guide used to allow the system to EQ to that curve, but in Audyssey, it actually allows full control over a curve from start to finish. This is what makes Audyssey the best room correction software out there right now as far as I'm aware.@@joentell

  • @ebarbie5016
    @ebarbie5016 Před 7 měsíci +5

    Interesting calibration approach. However, I don't think moving the mic while taking measurements is a good idea. It can raise background noise due to air friction and cause measurement errors, especially phase errors due to a Doppler effect. Better take 3 steady measurements at different heights and let the app take the average.
    I also recommend lowering the TV's height and increasing the front height distance. You could also add rear heights hanging from the ceiling.
    Is this app available online already?

    • @joentell
      @joentell Před 7 měsíci +5

      I've done many MMM and I get reliable and repeatable results. I often compare measurements taken from a Klippel NFS of the same speaker to ensure the method is good. I was taught this method from Charles Sprinkle, the lead designer from Kali Audio. Air friction is negligible considering the distance and volume of the speaker playing the pink noise. Doppler is accounted for via the spatial average. I hear what you're saying though and I appreciate the feedback. Static sweeps also have their disadvantages in that mic placement will have a huge effect on the measurement. It's also slow and prone to user error. Nothing is perfect, but I find MMM the most repeatable.

    • @toddshagena4360

    Can you explain how measuring right at the speaker will help the end result in the calibration. Since what you are trying to do is correct for the room so it sounds good and measures good at your listening position. IMO how it measures right at it wont help you get a better end net result. Also the moving mic method will introduce alot of noise into the measurements (humans are noisey, unless they do it naked, crack all their bones before hand and hold their breath while measuring. Its a good idea in a sense but humans will ERR.

    • @TechnoDad
      @TechnoDad  Před 7 měsíci

      Sure thing. When you measure at the speaker and then at the MLP, you can figure out how the room is affecting the sound at the MLP. So the software will create a custom target curve based on what your speakers are capable of and what the room is doing to the sound.
