Ok sub level set to +3 but shows +6 in amp settings which explains +12 on previous runs looks like ARC is adding + 3db for delays? Not sure
looks better as gives you more to play with now.Arc asked to turn down the sub which i did by -3 db. I changed mic positions 2-5 slightly
I ran another sweep using the same mic positions when I got the flat response earlier but With the added sub gain it has seemed to have changed to this curve. Mybe if I lower the gain by -3 db on.the sub I might get that flatter response. It sounds better with the extra db but I'm sure it can be improvedL

I would suggest you now look at changing the sub target to be flatter. Don’t completely flat but less curved that it is.
If you want me to adjust the arc file directly feel free to PM it over.
I will have a listen then send you the best one overL

It has been a long few hours of this. The original sweep had a nice flat response, since raising the sub volume I am not getting the same response. I will pm you now with the latest fileL

I can see why you are saying what you are. Your main speakers have a really good response. So you should EQ over 1k. The default is 5k. So reduce that will add some depth back into the sound.Hi everybody, I have a problem with the ARC. I am a relatively new owner of an MRX 720. I also have an MCA 525 connected and drive a 5.1.2. I ran ARC yesterday and feel like I've lost something. Something like a basic depth, I think. I also miss a little bit of dynamic and my subwoofer is now clearly leister. Is this normal when using ARC? I do not get it. Maybe someone of you knows.
Thank you

However the main issue is with the subwoofer. ARC will not be able to correct the big drop you have at 50hz. Despite what the predicated graph says. Not sure what sub you have? You need to improve the red line before running ARC. Either move the sub or increase the sub level on the sub to bring up the dip above 50hz. Then use ARC to reduce the below 50hz and you should get a better response.
One final thing your mains have a lot of bass so ARC will reduce that to make it more consistent across the overall frequency range. To counter this increase the room gain by about 0.6db. But you’ll need to sort the sub first.
Hope that helps. Feel free to post more results.
That’s a good sub. Make sure you have it in Flat mode. The response does look better. I would still try increasing the gain and turning off the EQ in the sub. About a quarter of a turn on the level. Although ARC may well as you to reduce it slightly.Thank you.
As a subwoofer, I use an Elac 3070 and am actually very satisfied with it. Unfortunately I can not change it due to lack of space.
I took another measurement and enabled the subwoofer Auto EQ enabled.
How can I reduce the EQ?
And where can I increase the room gain?
In the settings of the MRX 720 I found nothing?
To change the room gain and EQ limit you do that in the ARC software. Look in the help files online they are very good if you can’t find it.
I am no expert but your sub has those peaks and nulls which to me could be in not so ideal placement. If it is not already try placing it in a corner of the room which seems to be the ideal place for most.Yes, the curves look pretty much the same for me anyway. ;-)
On the new, No. 8, EQ limit is set 1k and room gain is increased by 0.6.
The curve of the subwoofer looks a bit different now.
Would it also be possible to remove the subwoofer from the ARC and drive it with its own EQ instead? Would that make sense?
I’d change the centre to match the fronts. Ie: 1K.Thanks, the ARC report says I've reduced the EQ limit to 1K:
"FRONTS
Upper correction frequency: 1000 Hz "
I think that was meant, right?
The room gain I increased by about 0.6, to 4,125 db.
As already mentioned, I can not change anything at the position of the subwoofer.
We will test the news with a movie after our child is in bed. ;-)
Yes. I'm not sure what you are describing, but with the right player (DSPlayer or Windows Film and TV app) I can get HDR movies to play fine for me.
Hello where will this be held ?Hi all,
We are planning an AVForum members day to visit the U.K. Anthem distributor to learn more about ARC Genesis and how to get the best from from your Anthem. We will be looking at a weekend March. Please register interest here. If we have enough interest I will happily organise.
Regards
