I'm new to REW as the title suggests, but not new to audio, however I am having a tough time getting the connections made so that can move calibrating the sound card (SC) and beyond. At this point I don't have a BFD, but I will soon. I want to take some measurements of my room. This is my goal currently.
I am using a Denon 3808ci Receiver. My question is how to take measurements not using a BFD in the loop? More specifically, which connection do I use on the Denon 3808ci from the line out of the Turtle Beach Audio Advantage SRM? Currently I have the line out going from the Audio Advantage SRM going to the 3808ci front panel AUX Input Right Channel.
What volume should I set the receiver at?
What db level should I set the RS 33-2050 at?
At this point, do I need to hook the subwoofer up, or can I with what I have.
Things I've already done:
- Downloaded, installed REW
- Installed Turtle Beach drivers, and REW "sees" it.
- Made all the connections in the Help diagrams, with the exception of the subwoofer, and to the receiver. Because I'm not sure which to use.
- Hooked up RS 33-2050 SPL Meter on tripod.
- Loaded .cal into REW, but not the RS 33-2250 xls. file that I downloaded in the download section. Does that file do anything?
Again, I do not have a BFD yet, but would like to take some measurements of my room.
I have yet to make a connection to my subwoofer. Or if I even need to make a connection at this point, if I'm only taking measurements?
Any help you guys can provide would be appreciated. Thanks.
