Re: BFD Hookup Question


Thanks Brucek,
I just read the thread you posted for another loser, er I mean beginner, like myself. The step by step approach really helped me out. I will post some graphs tomorrow if I can figure it out. Here is where I am so far.... I have calibrated my soundcard (graph coming) and it looks fairly good. Quite a drop off around 10-15 hz, so I will let you decide if it is alright. I used my SPL meter and set my processor volume until the RS SPL read a "0" on a range of 80. My Sherwood is at -4 (starts at -50 I think). Then I disconnected my SPL. Next, I hooked up my mic, the ecm-8000 and loaded its calibration file. Then I ran my sweep. The message I got said something about my input level, or some level was low at -64 (dbFS) and should be reading at least -10. I will post the exact message when I get home from my graveyard shift. The message said to check volume controls, mutes, and those sort of things. My window control shows my volumes are all up. I increased the gain on my amp and soundcard and my level climbed to a -37, but still the message saying it should at least be -10. If this doesn't make any sense, I will post the graphs and exact message tomorrow. I thought you might be able to decipher my babble so I would have something to work on when I wake up later. Thanks for all.
Roly
