what am i doing wrong?


Good evening all ,

spent most of the evening trying to calibrate using REW. I started by using the EZ EQ of the Harman Kardon AVR 635 then proceeded to REW to flatten the response if needed.

I followed the instructions carefully everything seemed to be fine but when i took measurement wel got a message that no peak needed to be worked on. I took another measurement got somewhat a slightly different graph. which is dipping at the begining.

Not sure if tat's ok or not. Anything i am doing wrong? should i aim for 85DB target level instead ?

Any help is more than welcome

Set your graph limits to a vertical axis from 45dB to 105dB and the horizontal axis from 15Hz to 200Hz and a target to 75dB.

Did you press the Find Peaks button?
