Today I spent a few hours to calibrate the Macondo and Milq. One of the drivers from Macondo was gunner and the rest was more of less stable. I did some initial measurements. It was not impressive. I do have approximately 3-4 db deficiency on left channel in bass and 6-8 db deficiency in bass of the right channel. So, my hope that 6 drivers per line array would be enough did not work. I would need 10 drivers array on right and 14-16 on left to linearize bass region. Obviously I do not have this luxury. The character of the response is kind of what I predicted. Since the sound feels that it is “enough” bass and the bass is more or less one note then I was presuming that it is some kind of +10-12dB room mode at 40-50Hz. It turned out to be true. So, I need to deal with +10dB 50Hz mode and overall deficiency of upperbass, middle bass and lower bass. In the lower bass I am down 16-20 dB from where I would like to be. So, I am considering to add a midbass direct radiator channel and then put my current ULF array at sub 40Hz transition slop. So, I need to experiment with enclosures for midbass drivers.
