Hi gang, I just ordered a calibrated ECM8000 and a MiniDSP to use with REW to tame my Danley DTS-10 sub. I was looking at this device to connect the mic to my computer, do you guys think it will serve the need? I'm trying to avoid forking out more dough for a USB soundcard or mic preamp.
The MiniDSP "2 way advanced" plug-in is the best for sub EQ at the moment.
A drawback with something like the blue icicle is you have no way to include it in the calibration loop. Assuming you have line in available on your HTPC, a basic mic preamp may be a better bet, or the Xenyx 502 or similar (the newer version with phantom power).
REW will most likely see the "Icicle" as a viable input / that's not the issue here / the issue is outlined in the linked to thread ( ie; it'll be very difficult to create a meaningfull soundcard calibration file with this preamp "choice" ) .

Thanks for that...I understand now. I broke down and bought a mic preamp as they were much cheaper than I thought. Am I reading your diagrams correctly that I do not need the Radio Shack meter (which I have) for the calibration process as long as I have the Behringer? Or am I using the RS meter externally as a guide for relative sound pressure?
And just so I'm absolutely clear ... the plug in I need is "2 way advanced" not "2 way advanced 21"?
Thanks for all the help,
Don
