I am writing here, as not to air dirty laundry in the public forums and give Steve a chance to make things right. Some of you may know I was the buyer in the PR-SC5508 classifieds ad. Steve wanted some time to ship because he was busy with hay season or something. Anyway, I waited patiently...

Xbox One u-turns: was Microsoft wrong to listen to you? Xbox One’s big policy reversals have sparked a great deal of debate this year. VG247′s Dave Cook looks at this week’s comments from Jesse Schell and ponders if Microsoft should have stuck to its guns. Yesterday I...

Hey Guys, I have a Denon 4520CI and a Klipsch 9.2 setup consisting of 2xRF-82 (Fronts), 1xRC-62 (Center), 2xRB-81 (Wides), 4xRS-52 (Surrounds), and 2x PSA XV-15 Subwoofers. For some time I've noticed that my center channel sounds strange. My wife kept telling me I was crazy, but I was certain...

I have had some pretty serious discussions with various vendors about real power for an AVR. When a new customer looks at a receiver with 100 watts per channel for $400 and then sees another receiver advertising 75 watts per channel for $1000, both with similar connections and features, the...

I'm attempting to calibrate the soundcard on my setup for the first time - I'm using a ECM8000 and a MXL Mic Mate as a pre-amp, connected by USB to my PC. Trouble is that when following the Soundcard calibration instructions, the result looks like this: Not exactly a great looking curve...

Hey there I have experimented with two different boxes in my truck...a 96 ford ranger ext cab. Kenwood hu, audiobahn a4002j amp bridged, andone 12" kicker cvr12. The first box was a sealed 4.6 cf trapezoidal box. The second a 2 cf slot ported box at 2.0 cf tuned to 33hx also trapezoidal...

Hey guys, first post, hoping somebody could point me in the right direction. I've read quite a few of the howto posts and followed the basic guides so forgive me if I missed something. My room has always been a bit of an acoustical nightmare, lots of hard surfaces, hardwood floors, and...

I am trying to analyze my two subwoofers. I have tried to read as much as possible, but have reached the point of frustration. I am using a cheap spl meter, the SL-814, the chinese version. My receiver is onkyo 818, calibrated with audyssey, 2 sub setup. My computer is windows 8 integrated...

I have been trying off and on for some time to run REW5 on my system and I keep getting the same problem. REW reports I am 30dB to low to run. It does not matter how much I turn the volume up I can't get above 30dB to low. I can turn down and eventually it gets lower I.e. 40dB to low etc. I...

Hello. I got all my hardware for using REW, looked at several tutorials online, entered the mic calibration, did the soundcard calibration, SPL calibration, I think I've done everything I'm supposed to prior to measuring. Everything looked good. But then I measured and got a suspiciously good...

I'm designing a 12" subwoofer and I have plans for a sealed downfiring design. However, downfiring subs don't seem to be liked very well. Is there a reason?

Hello Guys, after playing around whith the REW programm for some time and doing some private research (i work as a professional acoustics engenieer in germany, but not in the Audio buiseness) while making all kinds of usefull and unuseful measurements i came to a problem really perplexes me...

I just purchased a used Pioneer SC25. I am upgrading from an older Yamaha RX-V795. My front speakers are Paradigm 11seMkiii towers. This old set up sounded amazing but I wanted to upgrade to get the newest DTS/Dolby decoding. Anyhow, so I set the SC25 up and it sounds very thin and tinny. Also...

Hello, about one year ago I worked with REW and everything was perfect but now I can't even get the start right.... When I go to preferences and start to calibrate the soundcard the beginning is fine: sound level output around -6dB, I looped the right in/output, and I trimmed the soundcard so...

For some reason I'm getting some cracking sound when watching movies at a high volume. I've run auto calibration with Yamaha. My speakers are the Def Tech promonitor 1000 Not sure if I have to recalibrate or not. It wasn't doing that at first. Any thoughts on possible issues?

So, I am trying to put my newly acquired BFD 1124P into use, and I am having issues. Setup: RS SPL meter to audio in on PC; audio out to receiver aux in. REW sweep gives me a graph much like the Rocky Mountains to fix. Set up eq, transmit over MIDI to BFD. I can see the progress, and if I...

ok, here is the setup that i understand should be correct marantz sr7000 reciever f/l preouts to numark mixer inputs and then the numark outputs to the behringer 2000 watt inputs and the same for the sub connected to a 1200 watt amp, the problem that i am having is that the volume is very low...

Ok I have been reading the REW help files for hours now. I have a Usb audio interface (Focusrite SiS) and plan on setting it up like the diagram on the bottom of http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/spl-meters-mics-calibration-sound-cards/10001-rew-cabling-connection-basics.html (with a Y...

Okay, so i'm on the first step of calibrating the levels for the loopback. I'm using a M-Audio Profire 2626. On the software mixer for the m-audio I can see the "mixer out" is correct at -12db. I can match the -12 db on the input loopback also with the gain on the preamp at about 1/4 of the way...
