Subwoofer distance tweak/3.1
When integrating your sub in a 3.1 system that is about a 60HT/40 music set up, would you align the sub with the mains or the center when it comes to the distance tweak?
After running YPAO it sets my mains and center at 14.xx’ and my sub at 16’ exactly. When I do the distance tweak on the sub with the mains I just have to add .8’ to get the highest peak through an spl meter at the MLP before it begins to drop. I have the sub in the front right corner right next to the right main.
When I do the tweak to align it with the center channel I have to go to 21.xx’ to get the highest reading in an spl meter before it begins to drop.
Both were done with 80hz test tone which is also my crossover point.
Should I be going with the better alignment with the center or the mains? I don’t have REW and both seem to sound great. Maybe ignorance is bliss.. Or I just need to pony up and buy a calibrated umic and go headfirst into the wormhole.
Also, if anyone is curious about the Rythmik F18.....it is awesome.. I wish I had the funds for another one.
