additional attenuation above the actual curve will
not affect the UFW’s response.
Now that we know how far above and below we
need our width points, we must calculate the
percentage of a full octave this translates to.
This can be done with the following equation:
[(Bandwidth)x(Center Hz)] + (Center Hz)
Which breaks down to:
Bandwidth(B) = High Cutoff(H) - Center Hz(C)
Center Hz (C)
Thus, in this example, we substitute our points
as follows
(B) = (H) 85Hz - (C) 55Hz
(C) 55Hz
And, finally, we have B = 0.55. In other words,
the bandwidth dial should be adjusted to 0.55 in
order to set a curve width between 25Hz and
85Hz on a 55Hz center point.
C) Level—Now that we’ve defined our peak’s
width, we move on to the goal of this exer-
cise...to flatten it out. For this, we need to de-
cide how much boost or cut will be necessary.
In our sample data, our center frequency (55Hz)
corresponds to a gain of right about 74 dB.
However, as you can see in the above figure, the
rest of our curve is flat at about the 69 dB level.
Thus, in this example, a 5dB cut applied to our
curve will sufficiently “tame” this peak and flat-
ten the response of the UFW-12 in your room.
NOTE: After the filter is set, we recommend per-
forming a new frequency sweep to check results
and to identify where to make fine tuning adjust-
ments.
