By default, Audyssey attempts to correct frequencies from 20Hz to 20,000Hz. But what if we told Audyssey not to correct above a certain frequency? Could it improve the sound quality in your home theater?

This is pretty cool. Although paying so much money for the Marantz Receiver, I can't help but find it a rip off to then pay EXTRA money for an app on my phone to further fine tune sound settings. Definitely not something we had to worry about with our pre-WIFI receivers.

@mikemmikem2758 3 года назад

I've had Audyssey on/off enough times to buy a new house. A friend of mine is a professional in the A/V business. He told me many years ago that you can measure and calibrate anything to certain software/hardware specs - but in the end you have to satisfy your ears, and that's what matters most. I have the Denon 3700H and on the remote there are 4 buttons for sound mode. One of them is Pure mode and that is what I now use for watching tv. Regardless of any software approaches they are all designed to imitate a natural product - how the brain perceives and 'decodes' sound. And that sound is analog; and all the software/hardware tricks trying to 'digitize' that will never succeed. Calibration software makes a lot of grand assumptions and measurements (while technically correct) could be spot on. The justification phrase being, "It measures well." However, how does that sound to one's ears? One last point is that movie sound is always relative to the sound design and engineer who mixed it - hence the voluminous complaints of garbled center channel dialog - when in fact it has nothing to do with the speaker, but in how the center channel was originally mixed. I usually have my center channel increased to +3.0.

@MarcusMaximus909 3 года назад

Run a new full calibration on my 7015...set the new curtain at 400 htz, turned midrange compensation off on all speakers. Updated my personal settings. I havent had time to play with this yet, but my first thoughts are, it doesn't have have a harshness that without the curtain has..its a smooth detailed presentation. Will do comparisons but I like what I hear. I knew nothing about this so thanks @youthman...really appreciated 🙏

@LMtubes 3 года назад

Good video however I would caution those with heavily treated listening/ theater rooms (such as mine) . In my room all walls and ceiling are 2 layers of 5/8” acoustic drywall with heavy “Safe and Sound “ insulation behind drywall. The acoustics are not optimal at all although the room is extremely quiet and relatively “sound proof”. I also put up acoustic panels on all walls and a few ceiling treatments to handle reflections. Using room correction on the upper frequencies is now a must to bring the life, detail and air back to the high end. Without it things are dull and rolled off. Experiment is my suggestion :) Thanks for your videos....always enjoyable to watch.

@rindershow212 Месяц назад

So are you saying because your room is heavily treated, one shouldn't roll back the frequency Hz??

@davidjeanpierre2358 3 года назад

Great video youthman! I read about this tweak a few weeks ago and tried it.i turned off midrange comp and limited audessey correction to 500hz and my system sounded much better with a smoother top end that wasn't harsh like before.

@BuildITWithBrian 3 года назад

Probably a good idea to check your levels on all your speakers after applying the curtain as the SPL post curtain might have changed. I have tried this a couple times before but need to go back and try it again. Thanks for the video Michael!

@Youthman 3 года назад

Thanks I will check to see if they changed

@mikemmikem2758 Год назад

Audyssey is by no means infallible. In fact, don't assume all is well after running the Audyssey calibration. It is a good starting point but after running the setup get an SPL meter to fine tune the audio. What Audyssey really gets wrong is subwoofer measurements. I recently ran Audyssey again and Audyssey measured my 2 SVS PB1000 at -7.5 and -6.0. My SPL meter measured them at +2.0 and +3.5 dB ref level 70dB. Audyssey measured my 4 SVS Elevation surrounds at -2.0, -1.5, -2.5 -2.5. I like to run my surrounds a little 'hot' so I set the surround SPL levels at +6 with the surrounds now at +1.5, +1.5, +0.5, +1.5dB. The ultimate criteria for me is not what is measured technically but how does the system sound to me. I am a happy camper with my setup. I'm sure a sound engineer would do measurements out the wazoo and tell me my system is not 'optimized' but I could care less. One other Audyssey setting I change is the MultiEqXT32 from Reference level to Flat. I have also found that while Dolby Atmos has its virtues it is also not infallible. Many times I've preferred Dolby TrueHD over Atmos. One last thing is that, while enjoy Youthman's videos, he incorrectly states that the SPL meter should be set as A -Fast for speakers and C-Slow for subs. However, A weighting measures noise (OHSA standard) not volume level. C-Slow for subs is correct. Another 'controversy' is how to place the SPL mic. I place it vertically considering that the Audyssey mic is vertical. Just some thoughts and observations.

@MasterMark5 2 года назад

Youthman I just purchased the app and tried your exact method and my god the improvement was immediate and shocking how much better it sounds now. I can't believe how much audyssey was doing to the speakers, the thick heavy curtain has been removed and I can finally hear what my speakers actually sound like now. Can't thank you enough!

Can you show The curve in rew with and without CUT?

@John-vh1fk 11 месяцев назад

I started using this app a few days ago after struggling for months to dial in my system. I had an S710 Denon at my old house that I never had an issue with. buyers asked to keep it so I bought an S760 Denon. This new Denon even after running audyssey had very low dialogue but very loud action scenes. Using this editor app and applying a curtain really helped a lot!

@douglasberry9168 2 года назад

I finally bought the app and boy am I glad I did. Every time I calibrated my system the subs were always coming out very low or the final result was -12 on both subs. I would keep trying until I got a calibration that wasn't makes out on the lowest setting. My PSA's we're not coming out right until I used this app. Every time I have used it the final setting came out to -7.5 and it sounded amazing even at a flat level. I bumped it 2db and it is absolutely amazing now. I don't understand why the calibration is right when I use the app but not just using the Denon setup procedure. I put up a 500Hz curtain and WOW. My Paradigm setup sounds amazing! Thanks for the tip.

@Youthman 2 года назад

@TheWs25 3 года назад

I have always thought audyssey muddies the channels, especially the centre. For a while now I run the in-ceiling atmos and rear speakers with a 500hz curtain, but my front LCR I slide ALL the way to the left - I have the curtains completely closed! My system has never sounded better, especially my RP-504C centre channel, vocals are crystal clear now 👍🏻

You hit another homer for me again bro thanks. I just recalibrate mine last weekend and I was really not liking what happened to the sound of my speakers.

@alanl6105 2 года назад

@Agent-fg9ol 3 года назад

I have preferred cutting of audyssey at 300hz, I find that works better in my room. I wish there was a way to apply this cut before running audyssey, that way whatever amount of parametric eq options used by audyssey can be maximized within the band you really need it applied. I've also taken mine one step further and taken the curtain for the sub all the way down to 20hz. I measured the response of my subs before and after running audyssey and found I had a flatter response with audyssey off on the sub channel. Then I just used the minidsp 2x4hd to further flatten and I'm in audio heaven.

@martheunen 3 года назад

This! REW measurements and then REW EQ to minidsp worked great for me. Audyssey did not improve subs at all. So turn down audyssey eq on subs all the way if you have other means of eq'ing your sub(s). Also, change the crossover to between 80hz ~ 120hz and change distance setting for subs in AVR as well as sub level and remeasure for smooth transition from sub(s) to mains.

@logan1966 3 года назад

I was wondering if you can remove the subwoofer eq from Audyssey because I always found my subs sound so much more impactful without Audyssey. I love what it does for my main speakers but not the subwoofers.

@Agent-fg9ol 3 года назад

@@logan1966 you can try adjusting the cut off point in the app for the sub... I take mine right down to 20hz. I could be wrong but I don't think audyssey makes changes below that frequency.

@Quetzalcoatl0 3 года назад

I have a umik 1 and did some testing with and without audessey. The graph showed that it did something but the change was soo small it wasn't worth it. Maybe it's because i'm using the lowest of audessey versions or because of the curtain. Thanks for this video! will give it a try some day.

@init4fun 10 месяцев назад

@Youthman, funny that my Marantz SR5013 and my ELAC UB52's & ELAC S10.2 sub are a little shrill/harsh with Audyssey EQ'ing the higher frequencies and the midrange compensation lifted (off), so I've had to use this curtain to dial back higher frequencies that sound a little over-processed to me.

@justplainlawr 3 года назад

One of the features from the new 2020 lineup of receivers is the ability to make multiple measurements and switch between preset, kinda like memory 1, memory 2. Like having a music preset and a movies preset. Having the ability to make multiple measurements in the app, duplicate them, make changes before you upload back to the receiver is more flexibility than what the new receivers offer.

@brucecarter6205 3 года назад

Good video Youthman. One word of caution that I learned directly from the folks at Audyssey.....DO NOT use the internal AVR/processor test tones to double check your channel levels with a SPL meter after running Audyssey, as the internal test tones bypass all Audyssey processing and equalization. If you feel the need to do so, it is recommended to use the test tones from an external source, such as a calibration test disc.

@Youthman 3 года назад

Thanks for the tip I have never heard that before.

@brucecarter6205 3 года назад

I wish YPAO was this flexible. This is really important and I need to do it myself. JBL 5 series speakers tail off around 14khz, so room correction is always boosting the high frequency. Probably has led to an overly bright sound.

@Youthman 3 года назад

@RabidFace 3 года назад

You can do the same, but not nearly as easy because there is no app support to see your calibrations or mess with settings within the app. I watched this video with the soul purpose of seeing what you were going to say as see what I would have to do with YAPO. I have a Yamaha 7850 and everything has to be done on the AVR. You can manually set the canned frequencies and what dB. So, my guess is to set one to 300, 500, etc and set it to 0 dB and then leave all other frequencies as is. I am not at home but will definitely be looking in to this later. YAPO can also have 2 calibrations, I think. I forget exactly, but you copy the initial calibration to Custom I believe.

Yes definitely limit the frequency range any auto correction controls.

It's always better to do it all manually, just get the miniDSP, a good mic and software and dial it in.

Start with a bass line of 80hz for your cross over. You asked about dB levels. No one can answer that for you. It's your space. Just calibrate your system with whatever software calibration tool it came with. And leave it at that. And if you know what you're doing then you can get you an spl meter and go back into menu after calibration and set all speakers levels so they are the same which is usually 75db

Will this result in more accurate sound, or more preferable sound? I’m someone who tries to get the most accurate sound. If anyone knows, I’d greatly appreciate your response!!

@markdemariassy8685 3 года назад

Great video, thanks for that. The way others have described it, it sounded like they applied the curtain/limiter before they ran Audyssey at all, which sounded like a lot more hassle. Your way sounds better and much more straight forward. 👍

@Youthman did you check the levels after curtain, should they be re adjusted if needed

Yes, Level matching is the last step.

What crossovers have you got with this

@anthonykeve8894 2 года назад

Interesting… I wonder how much difference this would make if the speakers were neutral above 500hz, bloated beneath 500, or just the opposite of bright. My Outlaw has proprietary calibration built in though I’ve used it only to tame a peak in the .1 channel. I’ve used just a touch of cut here and there using the DSP PEQ in the 3 party EXOs used to bi & Tri-amp my channels. Not helpful I’m sorry to say

@elongatuspiranha 3 года назад

I never correct to 20khz. Never a good idea. Even on the best room correction softwares. Around 2khz should be the max. On the lcr I do no more then 500hz.

@TylerStout 3 года назад

I tried this a while ago when Gene made a video about it and it reduces the harshness of my speakers. Haven't figured out if i like it better than using the harmon curve (+2db at 20Hz and -8db at 20KHz flat line) but both sound much better than just turning MRC off and doing nothing.

Youthman have you tried no curtain, but turn off Midrange Compensation? Someone recommended to turn it off on all speakers before you upload so I did. And OMG what a difference! Not only does it sound better it also gave me about a 10db gain. Where I used to be at 68 to watch a movie I am now at 58 with the same volume. I will try the 500hz curtain next.

@@Youthman So after this talk I did some testing Saturday night. First I turned Midrange Compensation back on and immediately hated it. Then I still left it on and did the 500hz curtain and still did not like it...it helped some but still no way I was leaving it on. Then I went back to the original setting that was no curtain and Midrange Compensation off and it sounded fantastic again. Then I tried it with the 500hz curtain and midrange compensation still off and I can't really say if it was better or worse. I need to A/B some more but for now, I went back to the way I had because I absolutely love the way it sounds after I turned off Midrange Compensation. I definitely can't say that leaving correction on up to 20khz is actually messing anything up on my system in that room.

@stefanlasser6535 3 года назад

Hy! One major bug i found out on my Denon X4400h a while ago: The frequency limit only works in Audyssey "Flat" mode. "Reference" still applied the filter up to 20kHz!!! I did some measurements to verify that. Really strange!

@matsudakodo 3 года назад

It's the opposite. App settings only work with Reference.

@toddlippard3401 3 года назад

Youthman! thanks for another great video. Question, do you think Audyssey is good enough to replace Dirac live all together or are using both?

@Youthman 3 года назад

Typically you would use one or the other, not a combination of both. Most people feel that Dirac offers better room correction then Audyssey

I have mine in flat currently, which I believe has a similar effect to this curtain trick (not rolling off the higher frequencies), though I need to try this curtain method as it may be more effective.

@Porfmasterflex21 3 года назад

Noice! 👍🏼. You know, the other day, when we discussing about the curtain filter, I totally forgot to ask you a question about if you put curtain on the sub as well. But since you made the video, you’ve answered my question hahaha. Yeah, I’m giving it another shot with my setup. I’ve been running this week with 500hz curtain, and now, I will try with 400hz and see how I feel about it.

@MrNorcal81 10 месяцев назад

Great video Michael. My system has an RSL CG23-CG250CG23 front array, CG3s as surrounds, SVS Prime Elevations as F/R Heights and an SVS SB-3000 sub. I finally started playing around with the editor this week but the curtain, unfortunately, had a negative effect at various frequency settings. I did turn off mid-range compensation on both the "curtained" and default configurations and loaded each into my Denon's presets. A-B comparisons resulted in "muddy" sounding voices on the curtained setup and much crisper voices on the default configuration. Maybe the limiter was overcompensating but this was the case at all of the frequency settings that I tried. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Also, if you're doing an audyssey calibration run from the app and some extraneous noise occurs at one microphone position, how do you go back and repeat that one? Do you have to wait for it to finish that position and then hit cancel? When this happens with an Audyssey run on the AVR, you can just cancel at any time and it will redo that position. Thanks

@AdryDoic 8 месяцев назад

seeing your audyssey curves .. im wondering how you guys like such a flat response in low frequency? with Dynamic Eq off i have almost a Harman curve with in app +12db 50hz to +4db 160hz to 2000hz + 1 ! for the rest i have good quality towers and i think for sure they made a good crossover so why we all have to cut that with audyssey 👍

@mdoh8209 3 года назад

Hey Michael just a question , so I re ran audyssey in the app made a few adjustments and also I made the curtain all the way down for the subs to 20hz so then my mini dsp does all the work because if I run Audyssey after I have done my mini dsp settings the Audyssey try’s to make a flat response when I already have done this in the mini dsp so then it ruins the frequency range in my subs output from after to dsp. Don’t know if that makes sense but I have re ran Rew after audyssey and it ruins my curve I had already from just my mini dsp.

@davethestalker 3 года назад

It would be lovely if Denin would allow the Audyssey app to be compatible with the x7200wa FFS! I made some changes in Amp Assign, added 2 more Atmos speakers (4), and now Audyssey DSX is available when there is Dolby Digital content present.

@matsudakodo 3 года назад

350 Hz sounds best on my system but for the opposite reason: Audyssey artificially boosts my in-room response to flat, which is wrong. In-room response should be naturally declining for neutral speakers.

@everettspain2739 3 года назад

Do I run this app against my current internal config of Audyssey MultEQ XT, Audyssey Dynamic EQ, and Audyssey Dynamic Volume or run the editor and upload the new settings? Will I also be required to use the Marantz provided microphone with the MultiEQ Editor?

@Kenny_Edmonton 2 года назад

So I’m running a 5.1 system with my Denon 3700 for now (plans to get more speakers) and I have no sub as I live in an apartment and I’m not sure I’ll be getting one. Does running a curtain still improve the sound without a sub?

@hellR1de 3 года назад

Great video! It helped me understand some more advanced features. However I have a bit of an edgy situation. I'm using a 5-ch MM7055 Marantz to bi-amp my fronts, and I'd like them to preserve a good amount of bass, because I really want to enjoy stereo music (audiophile, here!) as much as possible, while keeping a decent 5.1.2 setup for movies. So far I've been out of luck to achieve that. I can obviously not afford a separate front pair with a stereo amp - my AVR is a Marantz SR5012 - so please.... Do you have any tips for me? I don't want to use the sub for music, so I'm more into a true 2-ch setup, than a 2.1 setup. Also, could you explain a bit about midrange compensation, for all channels? Thanks!!

@Mlock76 3 года назад

Thanks a bunch for the great video! I don't currently own the Audyssey app. However, I'm certainly tempted to buy it now, especially since I recently updated my system with a new center channel and added another pair of heights. I assume this curtain process will work on the Denon X4500H?

@Fran71k 3 года назад

Just acquired a Marantz 8802a w/ the Audyssey Pro kit and license; am I correct in assuming that I should be able to achieve similar results here, but my approach will differ, as the older model Marantz lacks this app connectivity?

@desoultaker 3 года назад

Strange issue - I've double and triple checked - I'm not color blind - When I run my Audyssey setup, it gives me a speaker error "Please swap the two wires (red and black) on the back of the speaker -Center. Do I trust it? or do I ignore that? is that a known issue with the app? or could it be correct?? either the receiver or the speaker is actually reversed from the factory? I've ran re-ran 4-5 times and each time it tells me the same thing for my center speaker. I have a 5.1.4 and the others show up fine. I'm looking at the red connected to red and black to black - there is no mistaking the wires I have connected are correct. Also - when I'm listening to a movie in Atmos - The center channel (specifically vocals) seem to be muffled. when it's in any other mode, it's very crisp.

@calvinc5888 2 года назад

Hey Youthman. Thanks for creating great videos. I kinda got lost here after uploading the 500Hz curtain then you uploaded the default settings. It seems when uploading the defaults, it overwrites the new 500Hz curtain change you just uploaded to the AVR. Am I correct? If not, how does Audyssey know not to overwrite the MultiEQ channel changes when loading the defaults?

@JavierSN95 6 месяцев назад

what did you change your Midrange comp?

@Foreverjazzfan Год назад

I had a way flatter response by letting audyssey run it fully. When I pulled back to 500 or 600HZ it was almost matching the before room correction.
