Hi,

Already received the calibrated EMM6 mic from Herb and M Audio Fast Track external sound card yesterday in good condition.

I'm novice, please advise

1) how to use/install the mini disc that come with the EMM6 mic

2) do I need to go thro' the step of cabibrate the sound card as mentioned in REW Help although the EMM 6 mic is calibrated by Herb

3) Anyone be kind enough to point me to the link showing how to use the mic with REW. I have read alot posts here but still cant figure out.

Thanks & regards
Ryan

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for your explanation.

Look for the file called “narrow band response 0 degrees.” Copy it to your REW files folder, then go back in and change the extension to “.cal”. This is the file for pointing the mic straight at the speakers, which is preferred in most cases. If you prefer pointing the mic at the ceiling, there is a 90-degrees file to accomodate that.

Can I store the 2 files into the REW files folder for different application?

If I use Radio Shack SPL meter, there will not have any file to copy to REW files folder. Is that the calibrated EMM 6 mic from Herb with the “narrow band response 0 degrees/90 degree files will be more accurate in measurement than RS meter?

2 questions:

1)For measuring L C R speakers, Is the “narrow band response 0 degrees.” file should be loaded and the mic placed at the listening position and pointed straight to each of the L C R speakers?

2)For measuring subwoofer, Is the "90-degrees file" should be loaded and the mic placed at the listening position and pointed to the ceiling?


Regards,
Ryan
