Standing waves

Hello !

During the webinar casted earlier this week, someone from the public asked how does R4 deal with standing waves and the answer was that it can't and that the ideal set up is to do some physical room adjustments and the add the digital adjustments from R4.

This is of course understood but the fact made me wonder how can I know, after calibration with R4, to what extent are standing waves (or some other uncorrectable physical factors) still involved in my room's acoustics.

(I just upgraded form HP to Studio and I will perform my first speaker calibration in a few days when the ref mic arrives)

Thanks in advance for your answer !

    Hi, 

    Sure, it's essential to treat your room as much as you can. Our software will do a lot, but fundamentally there are limits to what software can do, and standing waves is one of those. The situation with standing waves very much depends on your individual room properties, it's difficult to guess without any substantial data to look at.

    You're welcome to drop us a line and share your results in an individual support ticket. Attach a screenshot of your measurement results and a pic of your room/, that should give us enough information to work with, and maybe come up with some recommendations for treating your room to counter standing waves.
