1961 1s – real world in room frequency response…

Sam Mallabar
Community Member

Hi, Arendal Community.

I personally have two 1961 1s’s.

I’m wondering if any of you would be willing to share your in room frequency response charts for 1961 1s subwoofers…

As I understand it: Sealed subs generally benefit the most from room gain [which ideally would add performance to the anechoic expected results, assuming no room mode issues, and well placed].

I am curious: With well positioned subs, what sort of ‘real world’ gain is kinda par for the course? [+4db, +8db, +12db???]

Also, curious: How 2 1961 1s’s stack up in the real world…
As I understand it, generally, sealed subs kinda sum to a greater output than a single sub.
How much though [in reality]?… +2db, +4db, +6db???

I understand no 2 rooms will behave the same. I am just curious to see frequency response charts from real rooms, from people with the same gear as me, to see if I have room for improvement/ optimization, and to find out:
A] What kinda room gain is ‘normal’.
B] How do multiple subs sum, in a real room.

 

Thanks for your time guys – well appreciated.

– Sam

I think this is a great idea so there you have it:

The orange curve 2x Subs in the front of the room, underneath the fronts (more or less). This is after level matching, alignment,  and EQ with miniDSP and before Audyssey:

2 subs in diferent locations in the room play 3db louder, and 2 subs stacked have 6db more output.

Dual opposed subwoofers are sort of stacked subs and have also many benefits.

A small room has more roomgain but i also have no idea how much it wil be.

Hello! Here is my bass response from the 1961 sub 1s. By no means perfect, but considering it’s my desktop/office setup without any processing, it’s more than I could ever ask for and it sounds awesome!

Forgot to mention I am running 2x 1961s 1S.

 

Kristoffer, I will consider that a damn good response considering is coming from a single unit! Besides, playing around with the internal pEQ will tame that (30Hz?) bump further for a more uniform response … unless you like that nice sloping curve  :)

Hello Fernando,

Thank you! Yes, taming that bump/slope by adding a filter 30Hz (the peak is at 20Hz) will definitely make it smoother. I prefer a slight upward slope, but the current slope is a little too excessive for my taste. I’ll post my results once I have time to tinker with it!
