Hi Folks,
In the above thread for the ECM8000/Xenyx 802 combo, I am intrigued that both input and output connections to the PC sound card are on the RH channel. Whilst I can understand this for the input, I would have expected the PC sound card output to be on the LH channel, which was then split between the LH channel and RH channel on the line input to the power amplifier. I should point out that I do not have a home theatre setup - I want to use REW purely for stereo Hi-Fi.
I'm not questioning that your diagram is incorrect - it obviously isn't. It's just that I can't understand the setup. Presumably, I'm correct in thinking that the output from the sound card feeds test tones (pink noise, etc.) into the amplifier and thus through the connected loudspeakers? The resultant sound is then picked up by the ECM8000 and amplified by the Xenyx 802 before being fed into the sound card. So, is the LH channel of the sound card never used - either input or output?
Please clarify.
