Correct Compensation for ATH-M50xBT2? #580

Closed ChiefBigFeather closed 1 year ago

ChiefBigFeather commented 1 year ago

Hi,

which one is the correct compensation file for ATH-M50xBT2s? I tried this line: python -m autoeq --input-dir="measurements/rtings/data/onear/Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2" --output-dir="my_results/Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 (app)" --compensation="measurements/rtings/resources/rtings_harman_over-ear_2018.csv" --parametric-eq

But the outcome in both the Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 ParametricEQ.txt and the readme.md is different from the one on the github page. I also tried rtings_harman_over-ear_2018_wo_bass.csv and the harman_over-ear_2018 from the compensation folder.

Also: I'm not 100% clear on how to change the parametric eq settings. I would like to limit gain to +/-6 db and q>=0.4

Thanks in advance for help on this matter!

You have the correct compensation but you're seeing different values because you have different bass boost level. You can stick with the one you have and add --bass-boost=-2 or switch to the compensation curve which doesn't have bass boost and add --bass-boost=6

Thanks! Now the differences look like small rounding errors.

I also managed to get the yaml to work. If you only got 5 filters to work with, would you remove the highshelf/lowshelf filters?
