Another new rew user


I am a first time REW user and experimented with 2 subs. The best graph I got was with one sub, but if I am interpreting this graph correctly, I need a better sub. I used turtle bay sound card/xenyx802/8000mic.

I got this graph earlier, but all other graphs had very poor lower ends. Could very well be user error. I applied the calibration file to the 8000.

Re: Another new rew user


Welcome to the forum ....

Did you followed all steps before making measurements???

I'm not an expert, but it seems like the second graph is more accurate (two subs I assume), except that levels were low

Re: Another new rew user


I set up as per rew help file instructions. Then ran many measurements with subs only. I then went to the generator=pink pn and spectrum tab 1/24. Then in real time I moved mic then moved subs to find best location for each. In all positions the graph was giving low readings below 30 hz. Does this mean my sub just won't go down to those levels?

Thanks

Re: Another new rew user


I was rather surprised when I went to design a box in WinISD. Mine also wouldn't hit the low notes. On a side note, JL Audio subs where remarkably flat
