i made this equalizerAPO setting that I really enjoy, if anyone wants to try it out. It shifts the resonance from 2 to 3khz and sounds a bit more natural IMO. Made with my 711 ear simulator.

i did the mod with all stickers removed and foudn i liked the original better, lol. so i used wide double sided tape to stick them back on. i think the effect is the samea s if you made an open back a closed back (or a half closed-back)

I like this V shaped tuning with a bass emphasis on the "cavernous frequencies" 500-1000hz. sounds great for classical. But it may be an acquired taste for some.

i wonder how much better recordings would sound with probe microphones since headphones are better equalized and directional changes are more accurate. (not sure how dangerous it is to stick a pvc tube up your ear canal tho)

driver flex issues on a timeless? those vents dont help air get out?

looks like just a simple volume difference. you could use channel_balance=(number of db difference) to match it

well if you do a sine sweep you can still hear it. it might be shifted due to variance in ear canal depth, but it's there.

i have the mesh filter model and i did a FR measurement if anyone is curious looks similar to crinacle's graph except for the higher 8khz resonance. it's actually a pretty big difference. i think he did some smoothing, but even with a 1/6 smoothing it's still about a 3-4db difference. (note...

These are really easy to drive. i have it on 1/3 max volume on my BTR5 low gain, balanced.

Some models have ground, like the EM172, some don't, like EM258. I assume ground also helps with lowering noise. but not many models have that good of a frequency response besides the EM258. To me, frequency response is more important than SNR or sensitivity. Some have fried their EM172 in the...

I suggest also checking whether your mics are channel matched. I measured my SP-TFB-2 in REW with 1 mic on the edge of the table and one headphone channel pressed against it, then switched mics. It doesnt look well matched at all. My EM258s measure way better than my SP-TFB-2s. Your mics...

i think i fried my em258s too after hotgluing. this graph used to be flat, but now it doesnt pick up any bass anymore. these things are delicate.

Thanks a lot, and also this page is very enlightening for those wondering the same things as me. However, it seems to be saying that 12v is better for "small mics" than 5v. Is this true, or is that meant for the non-binaural condenser mics? maybe theyre TOO small and 12v would fry them.

^I seem to get that error randomly, and it goes away if I either a. record again or b. switch the test signal to the other one, e.g. pkl if you're using the wav one, and wav if youre using the pkl. I have a question. Is the "microphone boost" option in my windows the same as plug-in/phantom...

I'm trying to figure out how to make an exe file (pyinstaller just packages the entire program in one massive file instead of making it standalone) will let you guys know.

Sure! just made a pull request. i'm glad you like it.

your audio interface doesnt show up in the recording devices? have you tried changing Host API first?

Yes but if you don't set it it will automatically grab from room-mic-calibration.txt (or csv) if you have one. target level is like the average volume. keep it below 0db to prevent clipping.

hi all, Thanks to jaakkopasanen for the amazing program. i made a GUI to save myself from typing commands, but i think others would benefit from it too. I attached "gui.py", to run it just drop it in your impulcifer folder and type "python gui.py" in the command line. The console messages will...

"Why even use a 10 point system if you're only going to use 2 points?" so with soundguys its 7 = 0, 9 = 10 LMAO that cracked me up

nope, but i'm looking into one of the Primo $10 capsules instead. at least those have specifications on the order page. (could probably just email sound prof for the specs tho) also saving $30 on the cable is nice.

yeah... its a shame its not one size fits all. does binaulab do anything for you at all? i was hoping a binaural renderer that uses an average of all ears might work for most people because that's what they used.

has anyone tried to remove the back cover or is it even possible? if so, how does that sound?

it wont sound as good because you're simulating a stereo or 7.1 speaker setup with HeSuVi. In a fully binaural recording the sound source can be any point in space. Stereo music on HeSuVi is still better than nothing IMO. my point is that stereo way of listening is outdated and we should move...
