As Shakira sings; my hips don't lie. Unexpectedly nor do my ears. Inspired by the overwhelming feedback I decided to find the UMIK and do some sweeps in the den. The good news; it isn't bad, it's really bad. Just a little off would be nothing to write home about, this is definitely first page stuff. Brown is left, blue is right. Enjoy!
A loudness curve on steroids? A mountain of bass? A 40 dB rise is quite a lot. When I think about it, if I hadn't noticed the bass-orama the only solution would have been to sell all my equipment in shame and find a new hobby. I'm glad I didn't have to, but I imagine my wife would love to have a house cluttered with origami or tall ships made of matches.
The good news about the frequency response is the everything over 300 Hz. It's surprisingly even without any big problems, so it's not all bad.
Next couple of questions, is the measurement real? Could it be flawed by the low output volume? It might be flawed, I would like to make some measurements in Audiolense to get a confirmation. With higher output volume the frequency response is better, but I suspect it's caused by DSP trickery to avoid damaging the woofers. Either way, a bit of Audiolense magic is definitely needed, I just don't know how much.
