[QUOTE="Andy Turner, post: 205624, member: 10677"] Target Frequency response, or Power response? I tried going the of-axis route while EQ' ing, mainly to see if maybe of-axis peaks and dips would explain the difference in what I heard and what my on-axis measurements showed. This task is not trivial, as you need to measure of-axis and on-axis for every move you make - or is there another way? Does this approach have a name? I have a couple of d&b Q7 tops with a D12 amp, and they definately doesn't measure flat, and to my ears they sound very ok and hi-fi like( with minimum eq). With processor in the amp, the developers could make it flat out of the box, - but they didn't. I guess most of the bigger brands in this industry has some kind of target FR? Flat target can be ok, as long as the speakers are operated by someone who knows how to make it sound nice in the given environment. Problem is, not everybody knows how to operate EQ, and sometimes there is not much time for that. Further in situations where the job is dry-hire DJ, - they expect the box to sound nice, as is, also when it gets really loud?
