This actually explains a few misconceptions I had in the past.. Both slopes are filed under "natural spectrum" in my mind. Am 27.03.2018 um 19:16 schrieb robert bristow-johnson:> > I believe thats equal energy on a -6dB/octave spectrum and gives figures > very close no, that's -3 dB/oct.

What I meant when I explained how I derived my crossover frequencies, was that I used actual, typical program audio and **its own inherent spectral energy density distribution** to determine empirically (over many months work) generally where to set the frequencies. Much typical

i keep dividing into equal bands on a log2 scale, I believe thats equal energy on a -6dB/octave spectrum and gives figures very close to what David Reaves suggested the other day for 4 bands when you set 6300 Hz as the upper limit and 150 Hz corner frequency for the bass band (or 45 Hz
