You can use a USB microphone and software (REW, Acourate etc) to capture a frequency distribution. You can then correct it manually with PEQ or generate a wav file to convolve. See these threads:
This is a thread for you to show me (and others I presume) how to measure my room and input the values into Roon.
I need baby steps please,
With no -TRP17 phase equalised anti- magnetic toroidal microphones preferably with negative deconstruction algorithms.
Or - phrases like , running from command line.
I would hope there is a simple enough way of getting these measurements for input into Roon, so how are Roonies doing this?
It would be good if we could get maybe 2 or 3 generally accepted…
I have tried to do room correction with REW and other tools, but the results were unsatisfactory. Several discussions with @Brian , @rovinggecko and others. Several people, here and offline, have been telling me that Acourate is by far the best tool to measure and generate the convolution, but also that it is difficult to learn and use. I finally decided to take this seriously, and both statements are correct. (@Uli_Brueggeman , the author of Acourate, was helpful.)
The final result is excellent.…
In one word: fantastic!! Now using Roon with DSP. The measurements are taken with REW. The result is a awesome. I hope that in the near future Roon could do the measurements itself, that would be great!

Hi all,
I’m used to do room correction with my current solution under Tinysqueeze. However I’m currently installing Rock on a NUC and I’m wondering where to put convolution files in that situation. Some friends use correction by the mean of HQ Player or Roon “player” (is it Roon Remote?).
Should I need another PC running Roon Remote on which I will put the convolution files?
Should I not install Rock but instead have a Windows PC with all Roon apps installed on it?
I’m a bit confused, could …
I thought I would give the convolution engine a try after reading the post. I used a Dayton UMM-6 USB microphone and REW to generate the WAV files. The software recognized the mic and loaded the calibration file, so I didn’t have to do much. Below is the room response and then the EQ/filters.

I haven’t done any comparison between the convolution engine being enabled or disabled, so I can’t comment on any improvements. It was interesting to play around with the software, …
This article in the KB may assist with convolution in Roon.
