JBL Partybox 100 - frequency response measurements (Patreon)

Measured outdoors at around half volume and maximum.

Treble boost appears excessive, but actually it helps to make the overall sound appear more in balance. The problem is rather the peaky treble response.

Also added a direct comparison of the Partybox 100 and Partybox On the Go. Below without bass boost, above with bass boost 1.

Awesome to see this! One thing I’ve always wondered about is this: if a speaker *can* play lower frequencies at audible levels (here, I’m taking about the 30Hz response at max volume at around 85 dB), why not bass boost like crazy until those lower frequencies aid in extending the range at lower (arguably more common) volume levels? There’s definitely some dynamic DSP involved, but still, it can’t be that hard, can it? Seems like it wouldn’t be terribly difficult to tie the volume level to some DSP setting, but perhaps I’m underestimating this. In addition, since you’d be pushing the power level to the limits on the low end, you’d most likely want to add a limited so it doesn’t distort like crazy. Just thinking out loud...

T thought about this as well but I think some are already applying this, Sonos comes to my mind as they tend to have more lower bass at low levels. I could imagine that the HomePod also does this to some degree.

Demnach spielt der OTG in BassBoost1 ja sogar ein paar Hz tiefer... Wobei die P100 stärker um 50Hz boostet

Der tiefere Bass wird aber oben rum schon zugedröhnt. Man hört den Vorteil kaum, schade eigentlich. Vom tuning wäre die kleine fast besser.
