For instance, crossover at 60hz, using REW "Use Subwoofer to Check/Set Levels" to set sub level at 75dB...The SPL at 60hz ends up at 66dB... With 24dB/oct, would I set the sub level using a 60hz tone only, and...

    I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong place or if it's a repeat. I did some searching and did not find what I was looking for. I am using a Pioneer sc-lx801 in a 5.1 configuration. I start with full auto mcacc. It sets up my speakers as large. I change them to small with xover at...

    I have a weird issue going on with my UMM-6 calibrated mic. I am generating pink noise and using REW SPL meter and a CM-140 SPL meter placed next to each other and the UMM-6 is reading 10db lower than the CM-140. The only reason I did this was because I could tell tell UMM-6 was not giving an...

    Hi guys, Somewhat dazed and confused at the moment after battling with REW. More specifically this relates to "check levels". All right I have gone down the path of wanting to 3 way active on a pair of Tympani 1D speakers. Yes I know these were traditionally a 2 way speaker but the addition...

    I picked up a cheap old Mirage sub on craigslist for $40 until I have time to build my own, but I don't know how to hook it up to my system. I have a subwoofer cable running to my living room and no way to run any other cables since they are all about 50' runs from another room where my...

  11. SPL Meters | Mic's | Calibration | Sound Cards
    Here are the schematics of the old analog Radio Shack SPL meter (33-2050) and the newer digital readout meter (33-2055). They both show woefully inadequate coupling capacitors. Upping these should help the performance of this meter by an order of magnitude.

    Okay so I’m trying to figure out how loud my system can go at my normal levels. I’m somewhat doing this to see if the subs I what to get can handle my listening habits. The level on my AVR that I listen to the most is -20db. -30db or -25db for “regular music” and -20db or -15db for Classical...
