Room EQ Wizard v4.10 Now Available

Filed under: Home Audio > Measurement Devices & Software



Over at the Home Theater Shack, an ongoing project known as Room EQ Wizard has been showing great potential of late. The newest version, v4.10, is taking it to another level.

The Room EQ Wizard is a Java application that you can use for measuring room response and correcting modal resonances. It can generate test signals, measure SPL, frequency response and impulse response, generate spectral decay plots, waterfalls, energy-time curve and automatically adjust the settings of parametric equalizers to counter the effects of measured room modes.

Room EQ Wizard is completely free and offers support for use with the Behringer Feedback Destroyer Pro models DSP1124P and FBQ2496, including a filter setup via Midi interface. Measurements can be imported from ETF 5 and text or WAV files. The signal generator portion is capable of sine waves, square waves, linear and logarithmic sine sweeps, random pink noise, and periodic pink and white noise. Equally important, it offers compensation for C-weighting when using an external SPL meter as the input and calibration files can be loaded for various microphones and SPL meters.

Amongst the existing feature set, v4.10 now includes:
Spectrum and RTA Displays
Reverberation Time Displays
Extended Range for Waterfall and Spectral Deceay
Automatic Soundcard Compensation
Sweep Start Frequency
