GSonic Reference – Free Stereo Room Correction Tool (Measurement + FIR Export)

If your speakers are towers, no need for a sub for music especially if the sub is not time aligned. Music tracks don’t have much content below 30-40Hz.

They are small monitors with 4.5 inch woofers. Hence the sub.

how or if would you suggest proceeding with the free version of Gsonic?

Ditch the sub, and let room correction boost the bass (if it is sub standard.)

No plans to ditch the sub.

You need to measure your sub and speakers and then use that tutorial video to time align and crossover them correctly. Then use GSonic as you do. Bass quality depends a lot on sub time alignment and it’s nearly impossible that it aligns correctly without these steps.

Where is your sub and speakers crossed over, I mean what’s the device?

Speakers and sub are run from a Bel Canto integrated. Speakers (Raidho x-1’s) are run full range and the sub is low passed at 60hz from the bel canto.

Did I miss a new video? The video I watched made no reference to measuring for delay.

looking forward to suggestions on next steps. Thanks.

Ok. Just watched the video above. I thought you were referring to the Gsonic training video.

This is more work than I’m prepared to do Will follow the project’s development and hope it overs an automated solution in the future

I may try just using my mains as an experiment Good luck and thanks for the help

There will be a premium version in the near future which can use subs (and other speakers) as support channels for active room mode cancellation like Dirac ART does (only better).

Been following your impressive devo efforts on ASR. I hope as you keep going, you’ll stay focused on simplicity. So many of the questions on ASR seem to be deep rabbit hole edge cases from super users.

If you can make a point-click-measure-upload-enjoy solution, I will be thrilled to pay for it.

@OCA Thank you. Love your YouTube videos, got me into REW. Now GSonic is really taking the nerd out of this for us. Big thanks from Australia.

I have a damn BlueSound Powernode (N330) without a USB or decent option for digital in (with LS50metas and a KC62). I am struggling to find a good way to run sweeps from my Laptop.

Any way I can run sweeps from Roon or over the LAN.

I really need a new streamer.

Great. Let me know how it goes.

How is this coming along? Would love this. What hardware do you need?

Been busy with the release of the Atmos measurement app “GSonic Immersive” recently as a result MIMO project is on hold at this time. Cross-platform “GSonic Reference” - the free stereo measurement & calibration tool is finalized and available for some time now.

Hi OCA,

I was interested in the premium multi sub version, would love something like that.

Is there a way to get the test sweep .wav so I can add it to my roon server? My system does not have a usb input and the tool doesn’t seem to like airplay as an output.

actually- above may not work. How do we do this if our systems do not have a usb input? I am roon ready, have optical, but no usb. I also have airplay, but am getting an error when I select it as the output device.

USB is usually for the microphone input. The app can select any ASIO/Wasapi compatible input/output in your device. Airplay is not an option, the sweeps are 32bits/48kHz.

Hi @OCA

is this amplitude only or does it also correct the time domain?

My issue was that my stereo system does not have a usb input to connect my laptop to. I was trying to fool the tool by playing the sweeps directly out of Roon with the output device volume zeroed out but it wasn’t working. I ended up getting a usbc to toslink cable and was able to use your software as intended.

What an amazing result! I have messed around with rew prior but it was ultimately more than I wanted to get into and have used housecurve for the last couple of years with good results. This is really fantastic, however. Thank you for your work and contribution.

Thank you. There’s not a single user who didn’t find the results amazing however despite the app being cross platform (Windows/Mac/Linux compatible) and totally free, the total number of downloads since its release some 6 months ago is around 150 :frowning:

I will do my best to spread the word!
