9. RoomPerfect™
The actual performance of a loudspeaker is known to be highly dependent on the acoustics of your listening room and your listening and loudspeaker positions. Extensive measurements in different rooms with high-end systems have shown that peaks and dips between +10 and -20 dB in the frequency response are more often the rule than the exception! This makes the room the weakest link in the audio chain, a weakness that we have made our ambition to strengthen.
Our goal is not to make every audio system sound the same… far from it. Our goal is to preserve the tonal balance of your loudspeakers and match them to your room by compensating for your room’s influence. And therein lies a great challenge, to create a generic room correction system that would maintain the tonality of your system and only compensate for problems that could be solved. Nevertheless, it’s a challenge that has been met in the Lyngdorf Audio-developed and patented RoomPerfect™ system.
The main task of RoomPerfect™ is to learn the 3-dimensional acoustical properties of a room, by combining room measurements with measurements at the listening positions (Focus). The 3-dimensional acoustical properties are obtained through an easy-to-use guided set-up. When the guided set-up is completed, the acoustical properties are used intelligently to shape the sound that is played, resulting in the Global and Focus 1 room correction filters, which are calculated at the end of the guided set-up.
The following sections describe the guided set-up, the advanced menu, the daily use and troubleshooting of RoomPerfect™.
