RTA

206.55.224.7

The AudioControl 3050 is a very expensive piece of equipment. AudioControl also makes a C-130 RTA for $650. Now, the DOD unit you mention lists for $395. All of these units have a lower street price.

Could there be a substantial difference in the accuracy of these units, based on price? Or are convenience features the determining factor?

I set my speakers flat using a friend's C-130. What puzzled me was that each measured flat independently, but when the pink noise was generated through both speakers, the resultant sound was no longer flat. Any explanation?

I'm still fascinated by the equalization process. Although I enjoyed the utter detailed and transparent sound that resulted from setting each speaker flat, we found that many recordings, esp. those with violin passages, were very shrill and grating on our ears. I plan to try to isolate the frequencies involved to try to tame this, even if it means losing the "flat" response.
Your input would be appreciated.
