Re: E-MU 1616M soundcard calibration help needed.

Some people connect a Y-adapter at their receiver "CD" or "AUX" input (I do), so that when it comes to taking a measurement with the Mains along with the subwoofer signal, they will be driving both Mains. The signal is indeed mono from the soundcard via REW, but you may want to split it at your receiver.

Normally, you take a sub only measurement, and setup your equalization. Then add the mains, and measure, so that you can assess the crossover region.

Bruce, I use 2 Rel Storm III subs that are directly connected to my amplifier left and right outputs via neutrik connection at the sub input. The crossover is controlled at the sub input. It's a completely different setup than using a Behringer, I think. From what I can understand, in my setup, I would just use a single cable coming out of the card and connect that single cable to the same channel at the preamp input.
My concern is just making the right connection between the card and the preamp. FWIW, I use all separates in my 2 channel system, no receiver.
