Konstantin Romanov Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'm evaluating Dirac right now and I wonder if there are good guidelines on target curve design. The default suggested curve did sounded better, but it was still lacking on low-end so I ended up raising low frequencies slightly. But I'm curious if it should really be just downward-sloping and not somehow follow general shape of original speakers? Link to comment

Look at page 29 (bottom) of the manual and Be careful to increase bass too much and beyond your speakers' low frequency threshold. In general, listening and comparing different filters will help you decide. Link to comment
dallasjustice Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I like the default curve best. Are your speakers full range? I once used DIRAC on a pair of my dealer's 2 ways which normally only play down to 50hz. DIRAC got them to play flat down close to 40hz. It was really cool. You just have to be careful not to overdrive the woofers. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX Link to comment
Konstantin Romanov Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 I have full range speakers, but I'm using also sub (crossovered in receiver). I've got slightly better results with this setup. I'm planning to take day off next week and try different approaches in setting up Dirac and speakers from scratch. The default curve sounds very much similar to "Music" Audyssey curve in my receiver which I don't like because it's too thin-sounding, however their "Movie" curve has some other problems like non-formed bass.

Konstantin Romanov Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Yes, I'm doing exactly this. I've just seen target curve guidelines for other software, maybe it was Acourate where the suggestion was to not deviate a lot from the shape of speakers curve, especially not trying to improve dips in frequency response curve.

Konstantin Romanov Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Interesting... This is very similar to what I ended up with. Do you listen on lower volumes typically? Link to comment
hellblau Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Not exactly "lower": I listen mainly to classical, which means high dynamic range. My target is basically a Moeller Curve, the one is known to have the best listening results. Link to comment
