The 2016 Olympics are nearly underway, with opening day celebrations starting this coming Friday. Short of hopping on a plane and seeing the games in person, DISH Network and AT&T have struck deals with NBCUniversal to give fans the most modern of viewing experiences. Both 4K video and other...

I work at a small university up here and this week this was posted in our student newspaper... goes to show what some of our youths sense of entitlement is these days.

I have a CSL EMM-6 (w/ sensitivity) and a Scarlett 2i2. I used this basic method to calibrate the SPL of REW. I have the mic calibration file loaded in REW as well as one for the audio interface. I take a sweep at a given level using HDMI (ASIO4ALL) from the PC to receiver, say -30dB in REW...

Hi, Above is an "All SPL" graph showing the general frequency response of my room with 1/6 smoothing from 45hz to 20,000hz (I also included a waterfall from 45hz to 500hz). Notice how the bass seems to go from 45 hz up to 90hz just above 85db, then from 90hz to about 140 the dbs steadily...

Hello to everyone. Another german audiophile has found this site. I'm still looking around...:wave:

I want to pick some brains and get a list of movies that can really give my surround system a good work out. My system isn't very fancy, just a 5.1 Sony blue ray but I want to put it to the test!

First BFD unit had to be sent back because it kept shutting off. Also had the dreaded hum. 2nd unit comes, seems to work OK, but now trying to rectify the hum. So I payed another $50 and ordered the DCI ALH1 to get rid of the line noise which was not present before adding the BFD. Now my...

My goal is to build a good 5.1 HT and dont have to upgrade or buy another speaker unless it stop working or worse, I dont have a center yet but I try to get one from the same family of speaker if is possible or match a good one to the fronts that you guy advice me to get. Atlantic Technology...

I am new to this aspect of Audio EQ. While I have set up my HT using Audyssey EQ XT I would like to control the bass region more tightly. I already have a RS SPL meter, so would these hardware additions be OK ? a) DSP 1124 b) Beringer UCA 202 USB Sound card Both avail from Parts Express...

Thanks for a great program, just wish I could get it to work :). I have installed REW on a laptop running Vista. I have a Tascam 144II hooked to my laptop and seemingly operating properly. I have read through the many help files along with the sticky at the top of this forum but for the life...

I would really like to know what you think about this setup. I have asked similar questions but I didn't give any specifics on the speakers, so I hope no one gets mad that I asked again. I know alot of people don't like inwall speakers but my wife would really like a nice clean look. This is my...

WEll Im still at square one.. Ive tried to mess with settings in the program to get these nice graphs I see ppl getting but something is just not working for me, and a few others from what I hear as well.. SO.. This is where im at, - a few 100 hairs that I happened to have 8 hrs ago Just...

Im new to the forum guys, but i love the spot. I wish the DIY basement construction sites were like this one. Im getting quotes on electrical from contractors, and i didnt know HOW much i needed to know in advance. SO im trying to figure out what i need so i can tell the electrician what i...

For the past 3-4 years I have been listening to all of my music, tv, movies etc. with a special EQ 'house curve' I created derived from the ISO 226:2003 equal loudness contours. My filters are designed upon the offsets of the 80 Phons graph shown below. If you are familiar with the "loudness"...

did that ever happen? thought it was supposed to be oct 31st? just wondering is all :)

You'll have to excuse where this link leads, so first allow me to apologise for that, but this is pre-release info on speakers I'm interested in and I'd like to know if anyone has any valuable input on these. I cant share approximate pricing yet as it's an estimate I cant share. If you could...
