Re: Calibrate anyway?


No I did not use the REW after using the Auto EQ system (with the old mic and then the new mic) to note the differences or similarities of the results......

I do not even know where to begin.
I like what I am hearing....but it sounds as though the calibration I did was wrong. I was unaware about the....(Auto EQ system is that the Auto Eq software has the calibration file for the supplied mic embedded in its code. When you substitute another mic/meter, that calibration is incorrect.)


At -10db setting on the 990 setting the CM-140 at slow, c weighting, and a range setting of 50-100db's.

Front Left +1
Center -2
Front Right -1
Surround Right -2
Surround Back Left -2
Surround Left -3
Subwoofer -7
Note the subwoofer (JL Audio Fathom 113) has it's own calibration calculater built into the sub. I used that calibration. However I set the balanced the Master Volume control on the sub at the 2'oclock position and the trim setting on the 990 to -7.

The Outlaw's calibration went like this at -10db.

Front Left -1
Center 0
Front Right 0
Surround Right -1
Surround Back Left -3
Surround Left 0
Subwoofer -2
