Just by looking at the graphs above, comparing the levels between SMS-1 and as-eq1 with MultEQ, isn't the SMS-1's level substantially hotter?
To make further request.. I'd like to see the waterfall if it's not that much troublesome  |
Thanks Ken and welcome to the forum
,
You are right that the levels measured were off which makes the translation of what is going on, that much more difficult to interpret.
With a wife and two kids fighting over the use of the lounge and only a week with the AS-EQ1 I didn't have the time to be as thorough as I would have liked.
Comparing an 'average' EQ response against a point EQ reponse is difficult enough and without proper calibrated gear, level matching etc. the evidence here is anecdotal at best which is why I left this out of the main review.
I still think if you look at how quickly the colours change, the AS-EQ1 drops slightly earlier and possibly steeper than the SMS-1. The overall energy in the time domain seems less for the AS-EQ1 as well, although I am hardly an expert in interpreting these graphs.
If I ever get hold of one of these again, I will try running some 3D waterfalls as they are much easier to read.
