Re: JBL LSR4328 and MOTU 828MkII


What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to measure the frequency response of the total system or just your mains or what?

Btw, did you know that you get a total of 10 A/D's with the 828mkII? I've been using a pair in the studio for a few years now and couldn't be happier. It's a great unit. You get the 8 in the back plus the two on the front panel.

I dunno exactly what you're trying to do, but I would probably just connect your monitors to the main outs from the Motu. Inside the Motu setup thing you can configure how the sound is routed to the main outs. There are various ways to deal with it that will depend on your specific application, but usually you just set the "main stereo output" of your computer to the main mix, which should also work properly with REW. You also get up to 4 submixes inside the Motu if you ever want to real time monitoring of the inputs (and it's easy to set things up to toggle back and forth between the submixes which can be real handy).

If you're hooking your measurement mic into the motu, then you want to use one of the front two inputs since they have the phantom power available.
