It will be much easier for them after the first time. Having to crank the system to max in the neighborhood is a lack of self control and a lack of thinking ahead.BTproductions, you don't want the neighbors to get in the habit of calling the police. Once the baseline is set much less time is needed at the venue so I think of doing the baseline as quality time that can be done at home at low volume and not piss off the neighbors. Getting back to the original question of speaker response as volume increases, I believe this is an issue best dealt with during the venue tuning the same time as you would do array correction. Gadget, I believe you have a pic of this configuration that you could post for BTproductions. For baseline, my measurement technique for the mid/hi cabinet is a groundplane reading with the cabinet laying on its side and the mic almost touching the ground about 12' from the cabinet. Getting back to the single speaker box I am measuring, when I finish with it I will add a single sub to the mix and get a ball park setting on the two of them. At that point, you may have to adjust for wind and wait for planes to fly over but that beats having the neighbors show up with pitchforks, torches, and a rope. To answer BTproduction's question, in order for SMAART to read correctly, the level of the pink noise is increased until the Coherence Trace (in the Magnitude window) stabilizes. When I am setting a baseline, I am working with one box at a time at low volume and usually spend about 4 hours with it before I am happy. Just to be clear for those who are following along at home, I think of setting a system baseline and tuning a system in a venue as two totally separate jobs that are barely related. Man I felt like a little worm on a big f*****g hook in there but was glad I could at least follow alongĭennis, how then, are you dealing with the speakers response change as the volume increases? I'm sure you can all understand my sitting quietly aside and letting those who setup large line array systems ask all the questions and get out of the class what they needed first. Ok but what do you do with that information? Do you lower your crossover point? Put a PEQ in there to kill that area? Leave it alone? Well I'm not used to EQing with a PEQ so I'm assuming this should be done with a low shelf?Īlso he showed and explained your perceptive crossover point on the graph can be at a much higher point than say the 100Hz your set to crossover into your subs. So after setting your parametrics over your average he said set a bump in your bass to your preference of course. So there was a couple things Jamie mentioned but didn't elaborate on as I assume most the attendees know this information.

I've not had the time myself to use the software for other than running pink noise, getting an average, and laying in a simple parametric scheme like observed in the class.

We both we're kinda hoping for a walkthrough from start to finish of how to setup a system on day 3 but it wasn't quite like that. In fact the first time I opened the software was in the classroom also was was the guy next to me so we didn't feel all so dumb sitting beside eachother. Well I didn't have time to do that at all. The seminar was really great and got me started and all but ya it was like you guys said learn as much before going as you can and you'll come out with more. Ok this should be pretty simple or at least it should start that way.
