higher

Hello all, I have an rmx1850hd amp and was surprised when using it to replace an old low wattage trio integrated amp that my subs did not appear to dig that low anymore but now seemed to have a stronger midbass emphasis. Although it occurred to me that this would be because I had the bass...

Hi, How can I adjust settings to test my subwoofer at higher db with a macbook. When I run "check levels" before taking a measurement I can get clipping if I try and set it around 90db. I'm hoping running a sweep at a higher level will give me a better idea of response of between 18-20hz. I...

I sometimes need to check for "out of band" resonances and ultrasonic harmonics. Is there any possibility that REW might support an extra octave or two in the future (96kHz, or even 192kHz?)

Hi All, Please help. I am using the SPL meter on the REW software together with a Umik-1 mic to measure the sound level but the reading obtained is about 20dbA higher compared to a hand held sound level meter. I am using the REW V5.01 Beta 23 version and I have calibrated the Umik mic and...

Last week we highlighted a few new headphone options for those of you on the go. This week we’re going to take a peek at two new over the ear high-end options from Phiaton, products meant for more enthusiasts looking for a more dynamic listening experience. Phiaton’s MS 530 and MS 430 Phiaton...

Hello all. Been a while since I was on here building subs and I ended up with new towers, new receiver and a tactile transducer since. First off, I'll start with things that I've noticed that I want improvement on. I mainly do everything through my PC so it always surprises me whenever I...

For some reason I'm getting Higher Freq Extension out of my single (KEF Cube 2 )Sub, ...than one or even both of my (RSS 315 HO-4) Subs ? I thought maybe the 2 RSS's were canceling out at higher freq ,so i compared using just (1) against the Kef in the same Left corner as the Kef , but the Kef...

I am new to HT, and getting system setup. Fun stuff! I know very basics of gauge and run length, nominal impedance of speaker, etc. Now... My home already has 18 gauge wire (Belden 8760 CL2 rated) running right where I want the surrounds (5.1) to go on wall. The runs, though, I estimate to be...

Hello, I live in Mexico and Im building a HT for my family, it is a dedicated room 100% movies. Room dimensions are 11m long 7m wide 2.41m heigth. All surfaces are poured concrete. I will build 1 side wall of drywall to avoid some columns as well as a back wall same drywall. Final dimensions...

Press Release:

Looks like neodymium based drivers might as well be made out of unobtanium. Prices are going up ANOTHER 40% on July 1: http://www.cepro.com/article/why_loudspeaker_prices_will_skyrocket/

Hi Guys, Am thinking of using REW to see how my room "looks" acoustically. I currently have an RXV-2400 and I have used Yamaha's auto setup feature to set the levels of the speakers including the sub. I understand the theory of what REW does and the necessary hardware required to do it. I am...

I have just had the opportunity to pick up some '70s and 80's higher end mid-fi gear. I would like to sell it as I don't need it and was wondering what y'all thought of the values. 1 - McIntosh Mac 4100 receiver, everything appears to work, can't say if it is perfect, but it sounds alright. 2...

Once again it's in the thread's title! I mix in analog, and I like to record my mixes at higher sampling frequencies (usually 96kHz), as they are usually mastered in the analog domain. Yes, I know the best would probably be to mixdown to an analog deck, but of course it's another real...

So this is my first post and actually the reason i created this account. I am working on my 2nd HT room after selling my last house. My new basement has a walkout w/french doors. My problem is I want a projector but I like my light. I know they don't exactly jell but that's why I am here...

Hi all Long time lurker. Finally got the beans together to buy a tv. Think I want plasma...not gonna mention brand cause it will distract from my question. I am on a careful $3000 Cdn budget. The viewing distance will be about 13 to 14 feet. Question: Should I go with a top drawer 50 to 55...

I am seeing a near-steady 65db from my ECM8000/M-Audio MobilePre, though my RS meter shows <50db. Calibrated to 75db - when I turn on the REW generator I see accurate 75db readings (confirmed by RS meter), but as soon as the generator stops the REW spl drops to only 65db. I have a good-looking...

I finally got a decent set of speakers to replace some hand-me-down Bose cubes (I know... but they were free). The new speakers (Jamo C807s) put out a lot more sound pressure however, and while dialog and lower volume effects sound MUCH tighter, once the SPL ramps up things are starting to get...

I just picked up a panasonic ax100u and hooked it up to my dish network VIP 222 with a HDMI cord and it workes perfect! When I change the output of the receiver to anything higher than 480i or p the projector stars flashing on and off? 720p and 1080I causes it to flash! any ideas!
