Schu Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I personally DO NOT (tune flat)... but what say you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave MacKay Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Although I try to get a flat response as a starting point, I then change my "house curve" to suit my taste. Starting with a flat curve (an oxymoron, I know) helps me to ensure I've addressed room modes that affect the sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 No. Tried it with an eq years ago and it was horrible. Use an X curve if I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer X Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Relatively flat downward tilt with a bass bump...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racer X Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 The juicy part of the video is 3:45 to 5:45, his target trace or curve, which has relatively flat downward tilt, about 1.5 db hinged on 1 K, with a prominent bass bump at 300 downward. Thanks, Schu, for posting yet another video of interest.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyrc Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 As J. Gordon Holt once said, "Down with Flat!" The recordings aren't flat The speakers aren't flat The room is not flat Why would we want to "tune flat?" Tune to taste! With Klipschorns + Audyssey FLAT and tone controls (NO DEQ) and sub gain control: Often this at MLP: 30 Hz = FLAT 40 Hz = + 12 dB 100 Hz = +10 dB 150 Hz = + 7.5 dB Sloping down to FLAT @ 1K Hz From that point, pretty flat up to 6K Hz, Then: For dull recordings: Select Audyssey FLAT For neutral recordings: Select Audyssey Reference (slopes down, starting at 6K Hz to - 5 dB at 15K Hz) For bright recordings use treble control judiciously to turn down the treble while also using Audyssey Reference. For neutral recordings, it looks like this: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsch Employees Chief bonehead Posted September 13, 2022 Klipsch Employees Share Posted September 13, 2022 There is actually a way to tune speakers in a room or environment. There quite a bit of factors to take into consideration but first you must know what you speaker is doing…..not just on axis but off axis…..and all the other axes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Careful with that axe, Eugene. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parlophone1 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Thanks Mr. Chief, that's a good starting point. Can you give some directions, where to find out more or may be steps to go from there? For example, if we do not have factory measurements of what the speaker is doing, and most often this is the case, could we start with measuring microphone and REW software, anything else?

Schu Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 This guy had factory measurements of the differing speaker arrays he is using which makes his live set ups faster and easier to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
