The Process

After measuring the response of my experimental monitor speaker (wedge) I realized that, although it sounded okay, there was vast room for improvement. That big peak around 3.2kHz alone would probably cause trouble without some remediation. So I began with a measurement of the wedge with no processing.

Using Room EQ Wizard it's possible not only to measure frequency response but to predict the effects of parametric filters on a speaker's response.
