What tune are you running your svs pb 13 ultra

bevo

Just a poll to see what tune everyone is at.

I prefer the 15hz mode in my room.

Any other Ultra-13 owners out there?

I tried 15 and 20 hz and prefer 20hz.

I've ran 20hz, 15hz, and sealed. So far I prefer 15hz.
Sealed had a noticable decrease in impact for me.

For what it's worth, I've posted a REW graph of my ultra in 15hz tune below.
While I'm still getting the hang of REW, I have experimented with changing the PEQ on the ultra to smooth out that small peak I have at 35hz. I have not gotten it where I want it yet though. But notice that 15hz mode does give me pretty nice in-room extension. I've yet to figure out an easy way to turn my mains off for testing so this graph does include my mains.

20 hz works fine for me



I like to play with it though, as it is a learning experience to change and reset things

Just like max was saying

Looks like 75DB is your target line which indicates your sub is very hot. When you lower the sub output that is going to further expose your 70hz dip unless you XO is set to 60hz.

I would unplug the bannanas on my mains when setting up my sub.

LOwer the gain to your target level, remove your filter for now. Move you sub to raise any dips them use your filter to clip your biggest peak.

You are correct regarding the level, I believe it is related to how I set the level when setting up REW (I'm still learning). I do however run my sub 3-4 db's hot on a normal basis.

I don't recall where my crossover is set, but I'm thinking the 70hz dip is related to the sub backing out and the mains taking over. Will have to check this when I get home.

I can't move the sub, so for now all I can really do to alter the graph is use the peq to lower the peaks (I'm not ready to buy a BFD). When I get a chance I will have to unplug the front right main and re-run the baseline to see how it alters the graph.

I would like to see those results.
