Pink noise is rolled off to compensate for the increased frequency range each octave covers. If I remember right white noise is broad band and a constant amplitude with frequency. I used the 10 band Sound Shaper for years and it correlated very well to the Behringer. If it working you should be able to get what you need done. I have an old ADC Sound Shaper RTA that had a small battery powered microphone sound like yours is a similar set-up. There are several of those around I got a Crown PH-1A for $24 delivered off E-Bay. You should be able to use it with your EQ but if you go with the Behringer you will need a phantom power source. Almost any test CD has Pink Noise bands so you can see what the room response is on an RTA.
You can use a PC as your entire measuring set-up. This may be easier to tell when one speaker is louder over the other. Second is use the same approach above but using recorded white noise available on test CDs.
Then repeat the process with the high range to balance that driver with the other two. Start with the mid control to bring the level up compared to the woofer just to where it sounds balanced to your ears, that is no one speaker is dominating the output. The basic method is to turn down all controls to the minimum, then start from the bottom-up to level the sound. You may be finding you have some acuity to the difference in highs for this reason.Īs for tuning the Lpads, I can suggest two cheap ways using mostly your ears. Vinyl records (or the way the sound was changed by the time it hit the lathe) have a tendency to roll off the highs which can also vary from track to track as you move toward the center of the disk. However: when playing vinyl this problem doesnt occur! well atleast not so much that it bothers me!ĬDs (not all of course) have been accused of being recorded on the bright side to begin with. is there any tips or tricks i dont know about? when playing a cd for exaple, i fiddle with them till it sounds perfect, then thow in another cd it sometimes sounds like crap! and im there fiddling again! cd:s from early 90:s seem to have exessive treble.maybe to compensate all the crappy speakers sold that decade? :)
Hi! im having some problems tuning the l-pads so the speakers sound goon on most records.
