Hello, today I have installed the FIR Creator to make an Phase Correction of my passive 2 way Bookshelf speaker with passive crossover, which is set up close to the back wall. I use one channel from my MiniDSP 2×4 HD for the right speaker and one other for the left speaker. Two outputs are free from MiniDSP.

I have taken several measurements in REW, than time aligned and averaged the whole.
Here is the link to the measurements.

There we can see early reflections from the back wall and from the floor. So there is a dip and some Phase Wraps between 200 and 300Hz.
I want to correct the Phase and the Amplitude over 400Hz. I want to correct the Amplitude below 100 Hz.

Afterthem I exported the Averaged measurement for each channel as a text file and import it into FIR Creator.In this example I take the Left Channel.
Here is a screen shot of the import Window in FIRCreator. I have flipped polarity to get phase regions close to 0 Degree.

i proceed with the following steps as in the tutorials described and ended up at the Export Tab. I correct filter delay and length, so that the total error is close to zero from 500hz – 20 000Hz. and the phase is flat from 500hz – 20 000Hz. (2048taps maximum in 2x4HD) Here is the link to the export tab.There you can see clearly which Filters are set.

Here is the link to the export tab with an other view. There you can see clearly which Amplitude I expect.

I export the bin.file to my MiniDSP 2x4HD in the FIR Menue. Here is the link:

Here you can clearly see, that the amplitude correction file is not the same, than I see in the export tab of FIR Creator. Where is the problem? I tested all, but I can´f find a solution.

Afterhem I started a single measurement of left speaker at the reference point in REW with activated FIR filter and a second measurement without FIR Filter.
Here is the phase with an FDW of 6 cycles.

Here is the frequency response with an FDW of 6 cycles

In Both Windows we can see, that something has changed. But the solution is not what I calculated and expect in FIR Creator. I think the problem is, that MiniDSP false interpret the filter coefficient from FIR Creator.

Can somebody help me by finding my error of thought? I am meanwhile dispaired. Hope the links work.

Here is the link to both final measurements with activated and deactivated FIR Filter

What I have tested to solve the problem:
I have tested it with an other MiniDSP2x4HD. But it is the same Problem.
Procedure with Mac Bookpro with Intel Processor
Procedure with Windows PC
I have tested FIR Coefficient until 2048 taps. (MiniDSP 2x4HD don’t support anymore)
Nothing helps.

I Use mainly 14“ Mac book pro 2021 monetary M1Pro
REW Version 5.20.4
MINI DSP2x4HD 1.17 firmware 1.14

Thank you already once for your help.

Kind regards
David
