Frequency Response
How the RCF KX 08-A measures across the audible range. A flatter listening window (the sound arriving straight at you) is more neutral: peaks sound forward or harsh, dips sound recessed. The estimated in-room response adds what a typical room does, and there a gentle, even tilt down toward the treble is ideal. Both curves are shifted so their 300 Hz to 3 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
Measurement data: spinorama.org, measured by the manufacturer.
EQ for a Neutral Response
Flattens the measured listening window from the RCF KX 08-A's own bass extension up to 16 kHz. Set a preamp of -2.1 dB, then add these filters to any parametric equalizer in the signal path: the speaker's app or DSP if it has parametric EQ, a miniDSP, Equalizer APO or Wavelet. Boosts are kept to 3 dB, and EQ cannot fix how evenly the speaker spreads sound off-axis, which is why some speakers gain more than others. Calculated by Speaker Ranking from the spinorama measurements above.
| Filter | Frequency | Gain | Q |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peak | 116 Hz | -4.3 dB | 0.50 |
| Peak | 325 Hz | -0.8 dB | 1.54 |
| Peak | 1,190 Hz | +1.0 dB | 2.03 |
| Peak | 3,163 Hz | +2.1 dB | 1.11 |
| Peak | 9,260 Hz | -1.6 dB | 1.41 |
