This software is very compelling, and if Chris even gets a fraction of the features on the wish list done, this software alone will be a reason for speaker builders - amateur & pro - to switch to OS X. Hearing the full frequency range simultaneously in pink noise can cover things up like when trying to test a horn diaphragm. I use this almost everyday - i was just commenting to my wife today that i didn't have sound on my G4 because my interface box was always connected (i need to add a switch and anther plug to my interface box - housed in an old 400k floppy case - to allow me to switch to my speakers. FuzzMeasure’s sine wave sweeps do a good job of highlighting mechanical problems of hardware, more than using pink noise. The red curve shows the K300’s frequency response from 200Hz to 20kHz, with the measuring microphone located on the centre line of the front panel and aimed at the tweeter. The developer is committed to making a quality product and is driven by his own interest in DIY much more than any interest in this being a way to make a living. The FuzzMeasure curves are shown in Diagram 2 and perhaps need a little explanation. DIY speaker builders using the Mac have been waiting for something like Fuzzmeasure for a long time.Īlready - the software is still young with a minimum of features - it offers functionality at least as good as the usual PC suspects, but with a UI & quality of output we expect from a piece of Macintosh software. We all know its near impossible to obtain flat in room reponse without a lot of help.What can i say. If his listening room is defficient in producing certain frequencies he will no doubt favour one speaker over another solely based on frequency response but I never read a speaker review where the reviewer actually states what room treatment or DSP (EQ) was used to tame or balance the room to exhibit near flat response to take his room out of the equation. I always get a chuckle when I read a reviewer say he likes one speaker over another and then the readers automatically think the same. I realize we can't all put panels on our walls but I would expect a reviewer of an audio magazine to be a little more serious in this department. He didn't even take the time to place them in areas where they would have done the most good. I remember reading a review in Stereophile where the reviewer was sent a few bass traps and he wouldn't mount them on the wall, he simply leaned them against the wall so he wouldn't put holes in his walls, then posted a review saying they helped but he couldn't keep them. The reviewer will say "X" speaker was a bit lean or "X" speaker was a bit boomy and I don't know what to think unless I read the reviewer's list of equipment which normally leans heavily toward specific exotic cables and isolation devices used with no mention of acoustic treatment. ![]() ![]() We all know its near impossible to obtain flat in room reponse without a lot of help.
