Hi Diyaudio community, long-time lurker here.
I noticed some people here are using Clio and I'm working my way through the various features of clio 11 myself atm. I find myself struggling with the occassionally rather poor documentation from time to time.
One problem I can't seem to solve is to merge two measurements of the same speaker.
Below is a clio logsweep plot that illustrates my problem.
The red curve is the nearfield response of the woofer, the green was taken from 1m distance (yes, the room is far from perfect, I know). I raised the green graph's level with Clio's processing tools by approx. 22dB to have them at equal level @200Hz-that's where I want to merge them.
However, if I use the merging tool, choose the nearfield measurement file and enter the 200Hz transition frequency, the black curve is the actual result. No matter how I process or don't process the curves before merging, the result isn't dependent of the absolute levels and is always the same quality-wise, which is obviously wrong.
So it seems that the software doesn't just attach the two curves at the transition frequency but rather transitions gradually, which is nice. How the software handles this transition is not documented, which isn't nice.
Can anyone give me insight on how exactly Clio processes the merging and how to choose the transition frequency?
Thank you!
And yes, the graphs below are averaged, but I also tried it with unsmoothed and got similar results. Same story with sinusoidal measurements.
