14RamMan Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Heres a screenshot of my RTA app (Audio Tool) while listening to pink noise on my head unit. Ive got a 2 pairs of Focal K2 Power 165KRX2 speakers; front tweeters mounted low in the A pillar & mids in the doors (stock locations). Head unit is a Pioneer 8200NEX, and can adjust TA & 13 bands of EQ. I replaced my hertz HSK165 because I couldn't get them to sound the way I wanted, and although these sound much better, I still feel like they're not "there" yet. Should I be looking into a DSP of some sorts? This curve seems like its way out of whack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedal Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 You should find someone or a shop somewhere that has an actual RTA. An app used in conjunction with a phones microphone is not a good measuring tool. Even the plug-in microphones you're able to buy are not the same as the real deal, so your results will be off.

Kyblack76 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 A curve looking like that, wouldn't even net you a running score in the comp we play in, (psyclone, must be with in two bars of each other through the 20-20k band). Also. Where you just holding your phone in your hand or where did you place the mic? Shits even harder with the mic rigged up in the drivers head position. How are you completely missing 400-450??? The upper freqs are hard to score on. We struggle with 18k and up. And you have like zero lows. You don't even register below 31hz. That's the fun stuff.

14RamMan Posted April 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 I had the mic where my head is typically. It was averaging over 30 seconds. Not sure if its the fact im using an inexpensive app with a $14 mic, or my system really is that messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06RTCharger Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 That would make a cool video, to compare the accuracy of the mobile apps vs an actual RTA. Like the Audio Control SA-4100i VS the Audio Control SA-3050A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
