Matching Left side to Right side OR Match Speaker Pairs?

tjk_bail · Apr 18, 2020

3-Way front+Sub system. I have EQ'ed each speaker to a speaker curve, I even Eq'ed each Sub to the Sub speaker curve. Everything is lined up fairly well, but now I need to get into the fine tuning part of this tune.

I have a somewhat limited number of usable EQ freqs, because I used a bunch of them during the individual Speaker curve tuning.

So, would it be wiser to use remaining EQ's on matching Left side to the Right side, OR, should I focus on matching Speaker Pairs to each other??

There are different ways that people tune, but it’s always a good idea to try to match left side to R side so that you get good imaging. I would definitely try to do that to within a couple dB if you can. Once you do that, then you can take a measurement with both L and R speakers playing and depending on how well you matched L and R, the resulting curve should look pretty good. However, there is almost always additional EQ needed when playing pairs together due to constructive and destructive interference so you’ll likely need a bit of EQ. Just make sure you link those L and R EQ channels so that you do t through off the previous work you did to get them matched up.

Another step after this is to use band passed pink noise and adjust the levels of the R and L sides to better center the image for each of the frequencies (63, 80, 100, etc).
