Hello,
Please don't shoot the newbie...
Can someone explain to me in simple terms at what level I should set my target level in REW? I read the help file, but still don't quite understand the process.
When I use REW to come up with a target level on its own (Set Target Level...), I end up with 69.2. But then when I try to "Find Peaks", REW gives me a warning message: "Target level may be set incorrectly (too low)".
So, what should I set my Target Level to? Obviously this is going to greatly affect the filters and the amount of overall bass output, so I don't want to screw it up.
And a second question about the RadioShack SPL meter (the old analog one): Does it matter whether it's set to 'slow' or 'fast' response? I guess that setting only affects the actual display on the SPL meter itself and probably does not affect its line output, but I wanted to make sure.
Lastly, the frequency response of my sub seems awefully peaky. Can it really be this bad or am doing something wrong in my measurements?
The sub is SVS PCi 25-31 hooked up to a Denon AVR-2801. I am running it in 'dolby pro logic' mode while performing the measurements so that the receiver's crossover is properly engaged. The soundcard I'm using is Behringer UCA202. I have the SPL meter on a tripod, sitting upright with the MIC pointing straight up - is this the correct placement?
Thanks for all the help.
Cheers,
Pete
