The  aspect  that  many  find  difficult  is  knowing  what  to  do  with  the 

results. One of the main things we are looking for here is to combine 

acoustic  sources  in  different  locations  that,  when  summed,  remove  

frequency response dips. Combine two speakers with the same dip and 

you  are  stuck  with  it.  Combine  two  speakers  each  with  a  dip  in  a 

different place and the other counteracts it. Where all sources are 

in-phase, they will sum as shown.

SPL response Summed for two speaker with major dips 

You  can  see  that  where  both  speakers  have  the  same  level  and  are 

both  flat,  they  gain  a  6  dB  increase  in  level  combined.  When  one  of 

them has a dip, the speaker with the dip simply fails to contribute as 

much,  and  the  result  is  that  the  dip  tends  to  be  smoothed.  In  some 

cases  the  dip  has  very  little  effect.  You  can  use  this  to  your 

advantage  by  selecting  positions  that  cancel  out  the  dips.The 

measured  response  of  speakers  in  a  room  is  quite  complex,  so 

predicting the combined response is not quite as simple as one might 

expect. 

The main priority is to avoid dips. The peaks at this stage are less of 

a concern as they can often be tamed with EQ later in the process. If
