Room Correction on the Device
This section details how to perform room correction directly on the Eversolo DMP device.
1. Preparations
Environmental Requirements:
- Keep the room quiet and minimize any external noise.
- Make sure the speakers are positioned correctly.
- Turn off any unnecessary lights and electronic devices in the room.
2. Specific Steps
Microphone Selection
- Choose a USB microphone.
- Select the microphone calibration file (if available).
- Place the measurement microphone at the best listening position as instructed by the software.

Below, there are fields for 'Microphone Selection' (showing 'EVERSOLO EM-01') and 'Microphone calibration file' (showing '2439110011.txt'), with a 'Next step' button.
Volume Test
- Click “Play Sound” and ensure the volume falls between -60dB and -20dB.
- Once the volume test is complete, click “Next step” to proceed.

Acoustic Measurement
- Select whether to combine left and right channels for measurement.
- Click “Start Measuring”, and the DMP will begin playing the frequency response sound.
- Once playback is complete, the audio curve will be automatically analyzed.

Measurement Curve
- The captured audio curve will be displayed. If you are not satisfied with this recording result, you can go back and retake the measurement.
- Click “Start design” to generate the filter.
Screenshot Description: A mobile app screen titled 'Measurement curve'. It displays an audio frequency response curve with axes labeled from 20Hz to 20kHz. Buttons for 'Left', 'Right', 'Start design', and 'Measure Again' are visible.
Filter Design
- The DMP will automatically generate filters by analyzing the curve.
- Review the curve to understand the acoustic issues in the room.
Screenshot Description: A mobile app screen titled 'Filter design'. It shows multiple overlaid curves representing target, measured, EQ, and predicted values for left and right channels. Options include 'Apply to Configuration' and 'Export'.
Filter Settings
Adjust based on your room's characteristics:
- Target Curve: The standard for your room's acoustic properties, ensuring the calibrated sound meets this benchmark.
- Smoothing: Adjust the smoothness of the EQ curve to reduce noise and create a softer sound.
- Frequency Range: Set the correction frequency range according to specific needs.
- Maximum Gain: The maximum volume increase allowed by the EQ curve to prevent distortion and clipping.
- Target Gain: The gain applied to the target curve, used for room acoustic correction.
Screenshot Description: A mobile app screen titled 'Filter Setting'. It lists adjustable parameters: 'Target Curve' (set to FLAT), 'Smooth left' (1/12 smoothing), 'Smooth right' (1/12 smoothing), 'Frequency range' (20hz~20000hz), 'Maximum gain' (5.0db), and 'Target gain' (-40.0db). A 'Confirm' button is present.
Apply to Configuration
Directly apply to current FIR configuration.
Export
Select a folder to export to. The exported file can be applied to various configurations.
Room Correction by Using Eversolo Control AppScreen
