In Reply to: Without using an equilizer, can I fix this problem? posted by PriyaW on October 31, 2002 at 10:51:17:
First off you "only" have a about a 10db range. Not bad actually!Next I've read that the RS SPL meter is inaccurate above 10khz so you may want to take those readings with a grain of salt.
Finally, the dip a 500 follwed by a rise ast 250 is classic "suck out" or "Alison effect". An equalizer won't help. If certain waves lengths are being cancelled by reflections, trying to boost them just results in frustration. (You can't amplify somethin' you ain't got.)
The classic solution is to buy Alison speakers! This may not be something you care for. Two other approaches: 1- the simplest is to experiment with moving your speakers a couple of inches at a time, however, the optimal position may be impractical (and besides this often just relocates the dips and peaks to other parts of the spectrum) 2- room treatment, specifically absorbant material behind the speakers is the most likely prescription since that is probably the source of the reflections that cause cancellation. With luck this can be done with ordinary decor. Otherwise there are folk more than willing to take you money on sound-absorbant panels.
