Sweet Room

[Ron McKernan]

Do you mind to show some detail how you do this?

Like what you measured in the software for a frequency and what you entered into the text file for that frequency, and the Q value. I am still don’t quite get how to do it. Do you mind to do a step by step detial?

Here you see a screen shot (sorry, I do not know how to shrink the picture) of my xtz measurement result. I just transferred the values (f, Q, G) from the table on the right hand side to the Sweet Room text file (same for left and right speaker). Actually I lowered the first Gain-value somewhat (to -20dB), since it seemed to me a bit too extreme. Unfortunately there is no easy way to experiment with different values, but this setup works for me quite well. If I get some leisure time I will probably test some alternative settings.

BTW: "alternative setting". In the text file you can use the "alternative" lines for a second setting. With your remote device you can than switch between these two settings. However, in this case you do not have the opportunity to switch Sweet Room off. To do this, you have to leave the "alternative settings" as they are (all zero). (But maybe someone knows better?)

I bought my XTZ equipment some years ago, but I just checked that it is still available in their store (https://www.xtzsound.eu/store). It costs € 195 and contains the Room Analyzer Pro 2 software, a calibrated microphone, USB microphone amplifier (external soundcacrd) , all neccessary cables (long enough), a microphone stand and it comes in a nice aluminum transport case. I do not know how XTZ Room Analyzer compares against REW, but since I was familiar with XTZ, I just used this.
