DIGITAL ROOM CORRECTION Many times I am frustrated by how people expect room correction devices to solve all the acoustic ills of their room.Listening room designdevices ARE excellent at some things, particularly removing the negative influence ofroom modes, but cannot solve many acoustical issues. They should be thought about as a complement to appropriateacoustic treatmentof first reflection points.

WHEN TO USE DIGITAL ROOM CORRECTION The process for optimizing a system should be:Measure system (equipment, speakers + room)Design acoustic treatment scheme to resolve issues (early reflections, modal resonances, etc.)Setup the system (speaker positioning, listening seat positioning).Use room correction as a last resort for modal resonance issues below 100Hz or so

WHEN TO USE DIGITAL ROOM CORRECTION Once youve done this then you can start to

5. Fix speaker issues such as group delay, phase correction using something like a DEQX processor.6. Tune everything else, including power supply, equipment support, cabling etc.

WHEN TO USE DIGITAL ROOM CORRECTION But normally it is:Buy expensive equipmentPlace speakers where they look good with no or little thought or knowledge as to best placementSpend a lot of time worrying about cables and little things that make small differences

WHEN TO USE DIGITAL ROOM CORRECTION d) ignore the room because you dont understand the importance of ite) think that some magic room correction black box can make up for b) and an untreated room
