So i hope that helps show how good 'FIR to a spot' can look. Second graph is with all sections playing.
The power of FIR (to a spot)ġ20Hz high pass on low setion, with xovers then at 300Hz, 700Hz, and 6300Hz. I need to say acoustic response because the responses almost look electrical, given how well formed they are. The first shows each of the 4 sections measured acoustic response. Got a major version upgrade to Smaart yesterday, and just now tried out it's improved capability with a quick 'FIR tune to a spot', on a 4-way main speaker.ĭone indoors at about 1m on a synergy, made for 120Hz up. Just means we need better info, model specific haha, polars, and smoothing disclosure.Īnd hey, how about measurements when the speaker is not on FIR.the ones with 3ms latency.Īnyway, switching gears.I thought i'd back up my earlier statements that their frequency response and phase graphs don't necessarily mean heavy smoothing.Īnd that the impulse response could be real. So it seems to me they are using FIR tuning to a spot make it look extra good, and then marketing bias to make it look extra, extra, good.Īll that said, doesn't mean it's not a good speaker imo. I'd make it more like 28Hz going by their graph. I also noticed the low freq cutoff is claimed -6dB 23 Hz. To me It's pretty obvious Exmachina is using FIR tuning, to a spot.Īnd as YSC and voodooless point out, the graphs are the same for different models.
