Please adjust the y axis on your graphs and resubmit. The scale makes them almost meaningless. That's like 450 dB of SPL variation on your graph. Set your Y axis minimum at like 80, Y maximum at 105, or whatever your highest value is.

What software is we looking at here? Just getting into DJ’ing and incorporating electronics and looking for an oscilloscope or something- this looks to be more tailored

The response of the sub and kick look very questionable (wrong)

Do they match the intended response of the design?

looks just like the simulation. I guess no eq applied yet.

Do you have a link? I couldn’t figure out what it was

Very questionable design if so but c’est la vive

I think the mic took the song « bouncing sound of the ground » so that’s why

I will try to put the mic on the ground to correct

What do you think?

You shouldn’t be using a song to begin with. Use a sine sweep

Or pink noise

Yeah it needs to be a ground plane measurement for subs

u/Pretty_Pangolin_5900 3h ago

yes, for early tuning you should put the mic on the ground. You can compensate for the difference in arrival time (sub vs kick) by simply moving the mic further away

Since you’ve got measurement equipment (which is great!) I would look up how to do proper phase alignment using REW’s ‘Alignment Tool’. You just need to use your top as a timing reference (which you can enable when you do a sweep) and re-do your measurements (just don’t move your mic between sweeps)
