Looking for some help or opinions here. What could be causing the big valley in the midrange?
Somewhat recently I was playing with REW and my statement II's and I have a major dip in the response, centered at 1300 hz.
I disconnected the mids and took a measurement, blue is all drivers and purple is the just the woofers and tweeter.
Then measured just the mids. The mids are much lower in amplitude than the woofers and tweeter. Red is just the mids and purple is the woofers and tweeter.
Checked and rechecked the crossover, its wired per spec. Attached that just in case, picture doesnt clearly show the source and ground wire runs, but I didnt document the build and its the best I have. Also was some sloppy soldering...
Mucked about checking phase on individual drivers, that all seems to check out. Tried removing the foam from the tunnels, blocking the tunnels, and pulled the speaker out to about 4' into the room. No significant change in the measurement.
All measurements are taken in room, after the initial seating position measurement that highlighted the issue further measurements were on one speaker, at tweeter level at approximately 1 meter. Both speakers measured about the same doing this. The dip was not replicated with a different speaker I tried.
