      Hi eqjive,

      Suggestion noted; thanks.

      In short, the wavelet view gives a “frequency versus time” map of the loudspeaker response. The wavelet view of an ideal impulse is shown by default when the program is started. Once a measurement is loaded on the import tab, the waveleft view shows the frequency versus time map of the measurement. If the loudspeaker has, for example, “ringing” at various frequencies, the wavelet view will show patches to the right of the ideal wavelet shape at those frequencies. IIR crossovers, all-pass filters and other high-Q filtering will all cause some time smear in the loudspeaker response to the right of the “ideal” shape. Whether this is audible or not is somewhat subjective and varies with frequency; since the human auditory system performs somewhat differently at different frequencies.

      With FIR filtering it’s possible to create mixed phase filters that undo some of the phase changes that cause the time smear. For example, try using auto-mag and auto-phase on a loudspeaker measurement and watch how the wavelet view changes. Or, without any measurements loaded, set channel 1 to a low-pass LR 4th order crossover filter and channel 2 to a high-pass LR 4th order crossover filter, so that the combined magnitude sums flat. What remains is a phase change due to the crossover filter. Note what the phase change looks like on the wavelet view.

      For more detailed info, maybe google “wavelet analysis of loudspeakers.” Don Keele has one AES paper on the topic. A related analysis tool is the “waterfall plot” and you may find useful information on this also.

        Hi eqjive,

        Currently IIR settings need to be copied manually across into the Linea Research control software. (There is no export/import path to move the filters to Linea Research.) We have been in discussions with Linea Research about making this process easier, but I can’t give any timeline.

            Hi Johnson,

            That’s correct; there’s no target phase on the IIR tab right now. And yes, we should add this. (It’s on the TODO list.)

            In the meantime, you could open “Second View” and watch the phase on another tab. For example on the Phase Adjust or Auto Phase tab.

                We’ve taken a look at the Processor Editor software.

                Regarding the IIR filtering, many brands have different interpretations of Q (or BW) in their parametric and shelf filters. And some have different frequency interpretations for Bessel filters.

                We may consider adding this processor to our IIR filter modes, however it can take many months to work out the math for a new IIR mode and create all the conversion functions to/from all the existing Branded IIR modes that we have in our products.

                In the meantime, I sugges experimenting with the filters in each of the existing IIR modes to see which ones may closely match the T.racks.

                  Hi liveNathan,

                  Take a look at

                  Loudspeaker Measurement Import File Formats

                  The file starts with:

                  * Measurement data measured by REW V5.20.5
                  * Source: EQ window target shape
                  * Format:
                  * Dated: Feb 27, 2022 11:39:39 AM
                  * REW Settings:
                  * C-weighting compensation: Off
                  * Target level: 75.0 dB
                  * Note:
                  * Measurement: Target Main Native
                  * Smoothing: 1/48 octave
                  * Frequency Step: 96 ppo
                  * Start Frequency: 2.5 Hz
                  *
                  * Freq(Hz), dBFS(dBFS)
                  2.500000, -125.155
                  2.518116, -124.904
                  2.536363, -124.653
                  2.554743, -124.402
                  2.573256, -124.151
                  2.591902, -123.900
                  2.610684, -123.649
                  2.629602, -123.399
                  2.648658, -123.148
                  2.667851, -122.897
                  2.687183, -122.646
                  2.706656, -122.395
                  2.726269, -122.144
                  …
                  …

                  It’s a 2 column file with Freq & Magnitude but “FIR Creator” requires 3 or 4 column for Freq|Mag|Phase|Coherence. Since there are so many different ways TXT and CSV files can be created, we’ve had to put some rules around how we import files. We do look for a few special cases, and for REW, we currently look for the starting line

                  * Impulse Response data saved by REW

                  We’ll look at adding something for this file’s header also.

                  In the meantime I suggest copying this into Excel, adding a 3rd column of 0’s, and saving as a 3 column txt file.

                  Alternatively, if your intended target response is something simple, use “FIR Creator” in “Direct Design” mode, make your target response, export as a FIR Designer Target File (FDT) and import this on the Target tab.

                      Hi liveNathan,

                      On the “Import” tab, uncheck “Normalise magnitude.” This will bring the HF back up to 0 dB.

                      (Notice that the “Magnitude offset (dB)” setting is showing that -2.0 dB is being applied by the “Normalise magnitude” process.)

                      BTW it looks like the sample rate used to make the filter is different to the sample rate of the app when loading the filter. Note how the phase peak is just below 200 Hz in the upper plot and just below 100 Hz in the lower plot.

                          Sorry, there’s not way to change the overall skin right now. It’s on the long term “todo” list but it involves a lot of code changes.

                            Hi Sunil,

                            Version 2.2.x introduced Marani IIR filters and a “FIR output sample rate” parameter, which is different to the channel sample rate used for IIR and gain & delay. The “FIR output sample rate” parameter broke the Wavelet view for cases where the “FIR output sample rate” is different to the channel sample rate. We are currently working on a fix. (The filters are correct; it’s just the Wavelet display that is broken.)

                            I’d suggest confirming that the channel sample rate and “FIR output sample rate” parameter are the same. If they are the same and you still see problems with the Wavelet view, for now please downgrade to the most recent 2.1 release; 2.1.11. If you don’t have access to the downloads page, email us at the info address on the https://eclipseaudio.com/contact/ page.

                            And if you have time, can you email us your system (fds) and project (fdp) files.

                                  In short, Power Averaging averages the magnitude response only and ignores phase. Complex Averaging includes phase, and so frequency regions with substantially different phase will partially cancel and result in lower level in the averaged result.

                                  When combining room measurements to EQ a single loudspeaker or loudspeaker cluster, Power Averaging is usually more appropriate. When measuring drivers and designing crossovers, Complex Averaging may be more useful.
