    Hi everybody, Just received my mini-dsp 22d and installed the Dirac Live Calibration tool in windows. Went through the first few steps successfully until I got to the Measurements page. After selecting chair, the program said that the first measurement was ready. However, there was no start...

    Hello all, I am currently waiting for my new home to be built. This is the first time I will have a dedicated media room. Not really sure where to start. Attached is the layout of the room.

  6. REW Forum
    I know the automated power of REW, especially the ease and setup of using an hdmi for audio and a usb mic. At the moment, I want to just do a number of manual readings in the lower region of the frequency response. I plan on using a test CD with sine waves from 20hz to 250hz, full range, and...
  7. REW Forum
    Hi, I am, of course, trying to get the best readings I can from my room. I have played with the distance of my speakers and as I move them further apart, my bass readings get better; however, I seem to have a huge null of about 15-20 dbs from about 50hz-70hz, that I can't get rid of. I...
  8. DIY Speakers
    Hi, Been lurking off and on for the last couple of years. Just have not had the funds to really get started the way I want to. I was gifted a Sony str-d915, not sure if it's worth using, if not I can always use it for some cheap outdoor speakers no big deal. What I am looking for is a 2.0...

    I am going to make some DIY panels for my room, the goal being to make it sound as good as possible without Audyssey, then use Audyssey if I feel it's necessary. All panels except the corner bass trap are planned to be 2" right now with a 2" gap between it and the wall. The bass trap is 4". All...

    My Denon AVR-4520ci locks up/freezes. Here is the situation. My HDTV is on, and sound through the tv speakers. I turn on the Denon, as usual, and no sound. The display is CBL/SAT. I then try to switch to Blue Ray. This is when the Denon locks up. Green light is flashing. After that...no...

    The title says it all. I really miss the orange glow of Yamaha's older models. You knew it was a Yamaha just from that orange glow.They've adopted the "me too" Blue look of every other AVR receiver manufacturer. Can we start a poll to see how many would want the orange display back?
  14. SPL Meters | Mic's | Calibration | Sound Cards
    At the point now where the theater room is (mostly) done and have sat down to watch a few movies. The response from the subs (a pair of FTW-21's in custom 24 inch sealed sonotubes) is good. However it seems like it could be better. My thoughts are to use REW and a BFD to optimize (eq) the...

  16. REW Forum
    Hello. First thank you for this wonderful tool. very useful! If it is not to hard to add, i would love to see a 'delay start' option (5-10sec?). this would make getting out of the way of the measurement a lot easier. even better, getting out of the room completely. ie, click the delay start...
