Re: Preparing for REW+BFD


Those were raw feeds directly into the AUX connection of my Onkyo TXSR705. I had disabled Audyssey entirely before running these tests.

Hopefully later today once my neighbors are gone I can run some more measurements, specifically the near-field one you asked for. (I live in a condo and as I'm sure you know, REW measuring is rather loud )

I'm rather confused about two things however.

1) Why is it my internal measurements/calibrations are just fine as far as signal levels, yet when I go to make an actual measurement, the levels are way low, despite not changing *anything* between the internal checks and measuring.

(I understand I can change the sensitivity of the sound meter, but it was already set to 80, which I thought was appropriate?)

2) The cabling I have is mini-stereo line out to dual RCA, converted to single RCA at the receiver end and input via the Right AUX channel. From the sound meter I have a Right-only RCA connected, going to the Right-only AUX2 connection on my X-Fi Platinum (which in this case is using an RCA line-level input on the front panel). Is this correct, or should the sound meter output be converted into a dual-mono signal?
