To measure the FR of the subwoofer only, connect your sound card output directly to a line level input on the subwoofer. Use the Excel spreadsheet named Subwoofer_Frequency_Response (link provided above), which will plot the frequency response of the subwoofer from 11.2 Hz to 100.8 Hz. Input your raw (direct read) values from your SPL meter into the green band of frequencies in the Raw SPL Data worksheet, and the Frequency Response worksheet will plot the FR of the subwoofer.

Setup & Use of PEQ

Option 1: Measure the FR of Subwoofer Only Using Excel Spreadsheet:

To measure the FR of the subwoofer only, connect your sound card output directly to a line level input on the subwoofer. Use the Excel spreadsheet named Subwoofer_Frequency_Response (link provided above), which will plot the frequency response of the subwoofer from 11.2 Hz to 100.8 Hz. Input your raw (direct read) values from your SPL meter into the green band of frequencies in the Raw SPL Data worksheet, and the Frequency Response worksheet will plot the FR of the subwoofer.

Below is an example of a subwoofer FR. Notice the large peak from 35 - 55 Hz.

FIG. 14

To correct a peak such as that above, start by setting the Frequency to 40 Hz, the Q to 14.4, and the Level to -10 dB. Re-measure and re-plot from 30-70 Hz to evaluate the effect.

When making adjustments to the PEQ control, there is no need to re-plotthe entire FR for interim adjustments - simply re-plotthe affected section of the curve to verify your PEQ adjustments are having the desired effect. When you are done making adjustments, you can re-plotthe entire frequency response to obtain a final curve STA-800D/1000DEquipped SubsSetup & Use of PEQ Set the Frequency control to the approximate center frequency of the largest peak. Set the Q control to 14.4 narrowest bandwidth, and set the Level control to -6dB. Play the test tones again and re-measureand re- plot the affected portion of the FR curve and visually evaluate your results. Simple trial/error will then allow you to adjust all three controls to shape the PEQ cut to achieve the desired effectAdvanced Features Room Compensation Room CompensationSVSound Terms & ConditionsSVSound 6420 Belmont Avenue, Girard, Ohio Fax STA-800D/1000DEquipped Subs
