Acoustic treatment and speaker settings

Hi everyone, I recently bought a set of Genelec 8040's. Amazing speaker. My room is very small and my speakers sit in the corners. I treated the corners with bass traps (home made with 5inchs of fiberglass board) I also treated the early reflection points (side walls and ceiling) with acoustic foam.
Now that my room has been fairly well treated acoustic wise I am trying to find out what I should with the speaker settings. No mention in the manual if I should change the setting after treating the room.
When I first got my speakers the manual advised to me tune on the bass roll off 2, and bass tilt 2. Should I keep the current settings on or turn them off now I’ve treated the room…?
Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated
Room size is 6 feet 2 inches by 10 feet 5 inches. Ceiling height is approx. 8 feet.
Thanks for in advance :) |

| there is a thread but the search isn't working. Take measurements or use your ears. That is about as much as anyone can do. |

Yeah, there' no such thing as a perfect monitoring situation. It's a give&take that doesn't go up to 10/10. It's all about knowing what your speakers sound like in relation to other speakers. I mean there's a reason they're called reference monitors. It's a reference point.
Anyways, to give you a bit advice too.. Put on music that sounds like what you want to produce, or tracks that you know well, and just play with the settings. And make sure you like the settings at low volume too.
I have a pair of 8020s and I've rolled off the bass to the first setting, as I found them to be too boomy in this room with it off. oh and for extended production sessions Id definitely roll off the highs on those speakers, if they compare at all to mine. The piercing clarity just gets too much for my ears after a while. That's why I got myself a pair of fat ol' mackie's too produce on. |
