  1. REW Forum
    It seems in reading different threads everyone has different ways they measure with REW. Some use the RTA some use the Spectrum mode. Some use uncorrelated pink noise and some use correlated pink noise. What is the proper method with using REW? All I have at my disposal is uncorrelated pink...
  2. REW Forum
    Hello. I have ECM8000 Behringer microphone which is connected to USB soundcard. So, when trying to measure a room, I am stuck at a point where I need to calibrate microphone. REW guide says that if I have a calibration file with sensitivity parameters I can skip this step. However, although I do...
  3. System Setup and Connection
    I have a complete mental block on how these hookups are supposed to work!!! I get the theory-HDMI 2.0 is supposed to make everything play nice together-but in practice it doesn't seem to. The components: AV Receiver: Denon AVR-2313CIE3 (supposed to be a 4k compatible switching receiver). TV...
  4. Home Theater Projectors
    I have no experience with projectors but would like to set up a simple home theater in our basement. I'm having a hard time analyzing how many lumens we need because of the many factors that appear to play into that decision. We have a below-ground basement with a few glass-block windows. The...

  7. DIY Screens
    Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum. I purchased a projector a while back (InFocus X10) for very cheap. I then painted a screen based on the projectorcentral forums. It is Sherwin-Williams ProClassic Smooth Enamel Satin Extra White, # B20 W 51. I've found that it creates hotspots and...
  8. REW Forum
    Hello, Fairly new to REW. I've made some impulse response measurements and imported them into REW. Am I right in assuming that REW is giving me just the RT30 value and if the r value is close to -1 then I can just extrapolate to get the RT60 value. In this case assuming the line is straight...

    I gave my son my old 3D Panasonic BDP 110 because I finally invested in a Oppo 103. I set it up to play on his Mitsubishi DLP 3D television. I inserted a 3D bluray movie " Hugo". I could not get past the notice to upgrade the firmware. I have played this movie before on this player last year at...

    I've read the instructions from the rew V5 Help guide by John Mulcahy and read through the forum and still can't figure out how to get things ready for measurements. Here's what I have to work with: HP Laptop running Windows 7, HDMI Output, built-in sound card, Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Go...

    Hello, I ran my first two sub graphs yesterday and I am confused with 1) what the results mean and 2) what I need to do next. I am using a RS SPL meter at the listening position. I calibrated the sound card and SPL meter as per the instructions. I ran one test with the sub firing at me and...

  15. Video Calibration
    I have a situation about which I am totally confused. About a year ago I calibrated my home TV using an X-Rite i1Display Pro and a notebook computer running ColorHCFR. The notebook computer I was using did not have a HDMI port so I used the AVSHD 709 disk and my Sony PS3 as a calibration video...

  17. DIY Subwoofers - General Discussion
    I built a ported box for an old subwoofer I have laying around, for garage duty. The inside dimensions are 21.5" x 18.5" x 12". I stuck my head through the opening to see what it sounds like in there, and I heard a mix of mid and low standing waves. I stuck my phone inside with an RTA app...

  19. REW Forum
    Hello, I mesured my system, and now I have a probelm with understanding the RT60 plot. For me there is no such Rt60 graph, only T30 and RT20 - so do I have to multiply them by 2 or in case of RT20 by 3 to get my RT60. Thats what is writen in my acustic book. But there must be a RT60 graph ...
  20. Video Calibration
    Curious to hear some responses on this: I'm using the Spears and Munsil calibration disc. My setup has an Oppo-93 feeding the video signal via HDMI through my Elite VSX21THX which then is sending the video signal to my JVC RS45 via HDMI. In following the preparation and orders of operation on...
