[QUOTE="joel, post: 89629, member: 406"] As I've alluded to in other posts, the measuring techniques we us to determine in room response is ever so slightly flawed. A room that measures perfectly flat using an omni mic, will measure differently using a cardioid mic. The opposite is also true, so which curve would be the correct one? Until such time as someone comes up with a measuring technology that exactly corresponds to the way we hear- an absolute impossibility- there will be no 100% accurate way to measure room response the way we actually hear. At best measurement tools are to be used to get one closer to the theoretical ideal, and thenone can use their ears to fine tune. In more controlled environments -such as in Anechoic chambers- where complex reflections and variable rates of absorption are far less of a factor, the results from measurement devices can be considered more absolute. But even then how well these measurements apply to human hearing in the real world, with - as Rodney pointed out- the different way in which sound is perceived at various frequencies and levels, is to a degree debatable.
