CR Treatment and Tuning---The home stretch!!

[Stadank0]

No Worries. Somebody did it awhile back and it just lit me up....I'm sure you could imagine how you'd feel if someone did that on your thread, so thanks for the apology...

And 4+ years for building an entire studio from the ground up (including BOTH a CR and a live room) is not too bad IMO.

Probably not an opinion you need to share under the circumstances....

[Stadank0]

Hope your not too upset with me Stuart....

Happy to get back on a lighter note...

To all who are following this thread, conflicts do arise sometimes. Stuart's talents are becoming more and more in demand as you can see. Really not much more to it...

Nothing more to see here...

thanks to the unexpected error with the Sorbothane calculator, but we figured it out in the end, and everything is floating very nicely now.

Sorry to hijack the build thread guys! But Stuart, are you able to share the correction with the Sorbothane calculator since it is nowhere on the internet? This could help zillions of people. Yes, zillions

Sorry again, and thank you!

innocent enough I suppose.... no worries.


To all following my thread. Stuart is still tuning and designing my LR tweaks. I'll start building again here by next week hopefully.

Happy New Year otherwise...

Greg never exaggerates, of course! Hyperbole is not in his dictionary....

I don't recall exactly, but it was something like 93%. If you search back around that post you quoted from, the numbers I gave there were pretty close to what I ended up with. I do have it on file,... some place! I'm just rather busy right now to go looking for it (Frank understands, I'm sure... ). When I have a chance, I'll try to dig it out again, but I do recall that the numbers I gave back then were well in the ball park.

However: Caveat emptor! I did not test all Sorbothan products, or all shape factors... It was only tested for what we were doing for Frank's speakers, so I don't make any claims about it being valid for all situations.

Now, if you can just persuade each of your zillions of friends to send me a dollar or two, in a show of gratitude and appreciation, that would make me a very happy man! ( In fact, I'd settle for just a few cents from each of them!!! I'm not greedy.... )

Thank you! I'll use 93% then! Of course, whenever you have a few min to dig that stuff up, please post it.

I'll send a message to the zillion people and see what's up regarding the money.

Cool! And if they don't come through, then I guess it's your responsibility to make good on that !

Hey Frank, I just wanted to note that we missed your birthday! Well, not for you, but for the thread.... You started it on January 3 last year, and it's now January 5.... So Happy Birthday!

Let's hope that your place is long finished before the next birthday rolls around....

Ha ha indeed!!!

Just a quick update for all who are following the thread: We took a break over the year-end, of course, and there's been a few glitches to iron out, but the final tuning is nearly complete, and going well. Here's where we are at:

FRANK--REW--WF--12-500hz--Bx1-final-corrected.png

That's the spectrogram for the entire low end and low mids, covering the range from 12 Hz to 500 Hz. Yes, you did read that correctly: it really does go down to 12 Hz, pretty much clean and clear. That's about as flat as flat can be I think. That Neuman KH805 is a very cool sub, and those Focal Trios are a pretty neat set of mains. The room is working nicely too!

And yes, that is UNSMOOTHED data. No smoothing applied there at all. Just pure raw data.

So, I'm pretty happy with that. I think Frank is too.

We should be done with the tuning soon, then we'll show some more results from REW.

Stay tuned!

(EDITED: to replace the image with the CORRECT one: I had an incorrect setting in REW that was making it look even better than it actually is, so in the interest of honesty, I have now posted the correct image)

That is one pretty and flat spectrogram!

Great work guys! I hope to some day have something half as decent as this build!

Cheers and Happy ThreadDay Frank!

[Stadank0]

Thanks man. It definitely doesn't come easy.... almost done with the tuning I'm happy to say. Struggling to get some traction with the live room...

[Stadank0]

Hi Stuart,

checking in to see if we're still moving forward.....

[Soundman2020]

Yup... slowly recovering from surgery, but working on your LR, and ready to start up again on the CR! I have an appointment with the doc coming up shortly, but later in the afternoon I should be able to so some stuff...
