Abstract:
1. A method for compensating for room modes comprising the steps of: locating a sound measuring device at a single predetermined listening location, which is representative of a predetermined preferred location within a room; locating a first speaker at a predetermined preferred first given speaker location within the room; generating a first series of frequencies from the first given speaker location; at the single predetermined listening location, making a first measurement of the first series of frequencies originating only from the first given speaker location based upon the measurement results of only said first measurement, making a frequency determination of a first center frequency for the first given speaker location, which first center frequency is a frequency in a first largest measured anomaly peak; based only upon measurement results of said first measurement, and results of said frequency determination, of said first center frequency, making a single width determination of a single width for the first center frequency; based only upon results of said first measurement, said frequency determination, of said first center frequency, and said single width determination, making a single correction determination of a single attenuation needed for a flat response at the first center frequency for a single predetermined listening location; entering the first center frequency, the first average width and the first attenuation into an analog, parametric equalizer.
