First noob REW questions....


OK, I just finished my first attempt at getting a FR curve using REW, and have a few questions:

1) I got the measurement level set, but the Wizard asked me whether I was going to be testing a speaker or subwoofer (I tried both). I calibrated to 73dB by setting the AVR to '00' and bumping the measurement level to -17dB. The only difference between the two selections appeared to be the range of requencies present in the pink noise (the bass still came through my mains, but I'm assuming that at my CO the lower frequencies were redirected at my subs). The SPL reading was approx the same between the two (allowing for -2dB in the subwoofer run). Am I correct here? Which should I use, speaker or subwoofer (and can I damage anything by making the wrong selection)?

2) Edit: I guess I am a noob at using the search function, too!

Thanx!


Peace... Vader
