For those who have calibrated with an SPL reader, how did your calibrations by ear compare with the device?
You can never get close by ear, I use a Test Disc that I made myself with sine wave test tones starting at 10Hz to 120Hz at 1 Hz spacing, and a modified RS SPL meter with a pana mic wand (DIY). This will show you where your peaks and dips are, but even then you cant do anything about them if you don’t have a Parametric EQ like the Behringer Feedback Destroyer. Once finished the sound is night and day different, my 2 Maelstrom Subs are flat in room from 15Hz to 80Hz.
