[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 5266, member: 24"] Here are some measurements I recently took in a venue. These were taken with the system in place, including all the problems associated with that. A couple of things: 1. These are not my system settings, but the ones in use on a nightly basis. 2. Regardless of the way it measures, I consider this a good sounding system. 3. I took these on a run and gun basis, having about an hour before load in. The mic was ear level for a seated patron. 4. The L/R mains were taken in a T pattern: close, medium far, left, right. The subs were measured centered on the stage. None of the fills are shown exccept the center fill was on during the last all in measurement. So the first is my freeform art project: [ATTACH=CONFIG]156665.vB5-legacyid=4543[/ATTACH] Since this was all the measurements of the L speakers, here is the same coherence averaged: [ATTACH=CONFIG]156666.vB5-legacyid=4544[/ATTACH] I am seeing plenty of evidence of reflections, which matches what I see in the room. The floor is at two different levels, and the ceiling (fairly low) is also two different levels. The room is also on the small side with plenty of hard flat surfaces. In addition: Here are the subs which are on an aux: [ATTACH=CONFIG]156667.vB5-legacyid=4545[/ATTACH] With a little smoothing: [ATTACH=CONFIG]156668.vB5-legacyid=4547[/ATTACH] Here is everything on together: [ATTACH=CONFIG]156669.vB5-legacyid=4548[/ATTACH] And with some smoothing: [ATTACH=CONFIG]156670.vB5-legacyid=4549[/ATTACH] I think I figured out why I never turn the sub channel all the way up to unity. Let me know what you think/see and then I will post some of the questions I posed and hopefully answered with the measurements. Once again, this was not a system optimization, it was more "preshow see what you got" [/QUOTE]
