Re: Sound Card Calibration

The raw test shows the freq response rolling off pretty high, and the compensated test still shows a curve that looks unusable for sub testing.
The raw test with the loopback cable is the purple line and looks perfect.

You're right, the soundcard ain't great, but the soundcard calibration file (dotted line) compensates and gives a flat response ready for testing.

Many people use an external USB soundcard when they have a laptop for REW.

Once you take a measurement, be sure to post measurement graphs for subs using a vertical scale of 45dB to 105dB and a horizontal scale of 15Hz to 200hz.
