Using Pioneer MCACC mic with REW?

**tkc** · **08-20-08, 06:40 PM**

Here's a naive question: can the MCACC mic that comes with a Pioneer receiver be plugged into a sound card's Line In to be used as input to REW? If so, is there a calibration file that exists for it?

Sorry, but it's unlikely that you would find a calibration file - which renders the first question moot. There's no good reason to use a mic like that, really. REW requires an SPL meter, which coincidentally (and conveniently) comes with a free mic.

No. In addition to the fact that it likely doesn't produce a line level signal, its calibration will be built into the Pioneer.
