Hi John and brucek,

I think I have the same question as Nick. When using the RTA, the measurment is about 20dB lower than the 75dB reference level. This makes it very difficult to set the EQ parameters. Should I set the reference level to 55dB when trying to find peaks on the response? Do you have any good solutions?

By the way, I was using PMI's 5.1 test kit (DVD) as the test signal.

Look forward to your reply.

Thanks Brucek.

So, instead of using that DVD, you would recommend using the REW Signal Generator to send test signals to the receiver's multi-channel inputs, right?

By the way, I am using the Radio Shack SPL meter as the MIC and the frequency responses I measured always roll off quickly after the 10KHz. Is this normal? Replacing the Radio Shack meter with EMC8000 will get better high frequency response?

I have two more question.

1) It seems to me that the Room EQ is able to find peaks but not the dips. Does it mean we should boost the dips manually?

2) My plan is to use the receiver's internal Audyssey EQ and add a DPS1124P to the subwoofer channel. Is this a good way to go?

Thanks for the help, Brueck. I have more questions.

1) What's the best way to deal with the big dips?
2) Audyssey usually do not process the signals coming from the multi-channel inputs, right?
3) Pre-amp + EQs +power amps VS. Receiver's internal Audyssey+ Sub EQ. Which one do you think is the better solution to solve the room acoustical problems.
