Post Subject: The mildness of the tilting…Posted by Romy the Cat on: 10/10/2007
Paul,
you are missing the point. When I said about “tilted” response it is still a "flat response". If your 10kHz-2 octaves has minus 1-2dB over your 30Hz +2 octaves then it is VERY flat, way flatter than normal deviation of most playbacks out there. So, we do not talk about LF or HF in my case but rather about very smooth tilting the entire balance of an installation toward to the bottom. The very same take place in live music where air’s phase randomization act as a very effective low-pass filter. However “live” sound has also it's HF dynamic and transient characteristics order of magnitude more superior then playback… Still, it is very important to understand the mildness of the tilting that is KEY. If response feels as tilted then it was tilted too much anyhow... I also did not proposed to cure with the “response tilting” the harmonic deficiency of playback in the “Melody Range”.
