Where can I find other user's Ref 4 EQ as a screen capture? (Mackie 824)

Hi,

Where can I find other user's Ref 4 EQ as a screen capture for my same speakers? (Mackie 824)

Curious how they might look compared to mine. And what % of the complete EQ correction might be the speakers as compared to the room? Is there a ruff guess? 75/25%?

Thanks!

    Hey Eric,

    I am sorry to disappoint you, but other users' speaker measurement/calibration data is not publicly available.

    Regarding the ration of influence on the frequency response of your setup, it would be hard to offer you a percentage value.
    However, room acoustics would indeed be a dominating factor.

    Hi Chris,

    haha sounds like I'm asking for medical records.

    I was just hoping some "users" might post a screen grab here or share with me. Not SW.

    I was disappointed to discover that the simulations had been removed also.

    So you are saying the room itself is the stronger part of the 2 parts? Interesting. Some Russian guy on YouTube said it's about 80% speaker... 20% room.

    Thanks

    Eric

    The room has a crazy high influence. Hell, just playing my phone at work in a warehouse on low volume I can hear it sound different from a staircase to main floor.

    Hello!

    I have a pair of Mackie HR 824 and here is my screenshot:

    I had 2 temporary mattresses in my room and this valley at 80Hz was at around -6db. But I've replaced them with more "wife-friendly bass traps", :) and it looks like it got a little bit worse. So, as you can see, mine is far from being in a professionally built studio.

    My speakers also have this weird difference between them (got them 2nd hand... might be from different production units, who knows).

    But I do see some similarities with yours: some dips at 120Hz and 1.5Khz

    Oh, only now I realized you're also using Audio-Technica ATH M50x. Another EMD producer here? :D

    Hi Fabio, Sorry I'm late. Thanks for you screenshot! I see many similar areas. I forgot to mention I use a Mackie SRS1500 Sub also.

    My settings on the speakers are here too now. Hope some more people see this a post a shot!
