    • @mndlessdrwer
      @mndlessdrwer 2 года назад +29

      Room correction is sound engineering witchcraft. It listens to the reverb in the room and adjusts the signal being sent to the speakers to compensate for that reverb based on their internal models of how the sound behaves in various spaces. The problem is that it has a hard time coping with particularly strange room configuration, since it is basically trying to use sound to figure out the shape of the room and how to optimize the sound so your room gain works out in your favor. Still, it has nothing over a sound engineer using models of the space and determining optimal speaker placement, treatment placement, and then running the room correction. But most people can't afford to have dedicated theaters or listening rooms, so we make compromises where we must.

    A note on subwoofers; After buying one I found it very distracting when watching movies, or when a commercial (which are always very LOUD) comes on. When you set the volume to hear the dialog, along comes some window-shaking explosion or dramatic music/sound during a dramatic moment. I kept adjusting it lower and lower to where it's almost somewhere between 0 and 1 on the dial. And there's no one setting that works for all movies or shows. It's either too loud or non-existent. It almost needs it's own dedicated remote volume control. If you live in a condo or apartment, expect a knock on the door from your angry neighbor(s).

    • @krane15
      @krane15 3 года назад

      If you live in a condo/apt. and have any kind of serious sound system there will always have to be compromises. I have a similar situation with dynamics (gunfire/explosions) so I set my audio system to Loudness Normalization, which compresses the dynamic range (most receivers and PCs have that setting), and helps keep the sound from drastically jumping from soft to loud. Of course, some of the immersion is lost, but that a multi-dwelling compromise you have to learn to live with.
      If you're lucky, you have a multi-speaker receiver setting (Dolby surround/Atmos/etc. which allows you to add a center channel speaker to your system. That way, you get adjust your bass-to-dialogue output so that it fits your environment and audio environment and taste better. Your dialogue will always come through loud and clear.
      Again, not a prefect solution -- since as you stated no two recording are exactly alike -- so you may still on occasion have to "ride" the volume control. Just not as often.

    James that was money well spent on the Anthem! ARC is by far the best room correction I’ve ever used. Now ditch the Klipsch speakers and pick up some Paradigms. They are a match made in heaven with Anthem. I wish good audio was more of a priority for Linus.

    As an ex-home theatre installer, Anthem Room Correction is a game changer, even as an upgrade from other high end Receivers.
    Sneaky tip for the bass crawl for best sub placement, you put the sub in the listening position, then crawl around the room listening for where it sounds best, when you find it, congratulations, you found your ideal sub placement 😘
