Back in the 90's I tried hooking up my stereo to the stereo output of a rear projection TV I had. Most dialog was unintelligible. Fast forward to around 2006 I remodeled my living room and put in wiring for 7.1 and I bought a good Pioneer 7.1 receiver, threw on whatever speakers I happened to...

I would like to approximate an anechoic speaker measurement from 200hz to 20khz in an 11'x15' room. To do this I assume I would need to do gated measurements. Within REW, I believe gating is controlled via the IR panel which I have never used. Could someone explain what a good set of values for...

I am familiar with using the timing signal, but I have never seen the graphs with the time as the X axis. I assume the Y axis is amplitude irrespective of frequency or is it something else? Since I am using a USB microphone, I assume I cannot use loopback timing. I do not have the computer with...

Note my comment above; "One thing I really need to get better at is using REW. " Are there instructions or a video somewhere to accomplish what you describe above? My setup is "different" and subject to change in the near future. Currently I have Magnepan 2.7 QRs as my fronts, sitting right...

Part of the problem with what I have is I am never quite sure what "distance" to use for the subs. They are ~10' from the listening position. Sometimes the Auto calibration will say close to 40' sometimes in the mid 20' range. I don't really know of a good way of determining what to set it to...

Thanks for the information. Are you the Sonnie, who was a key player at HomeTheaterShack? In the mid to late aughts I was somewhat active over there. The SVS devices have a latency of ~25.5 ms which is about 29 additional feet when setting up the HT distances. The RocketFish I currently use is...

I have a HT system in a 15'x25' room where I thought about most everything other than getting line level signal for my sub woofers to the opposite end of the room from the sound processor. I have been using a Rocket Fish stereo transmitter receiver for 10+ years and the latency is a bit much...

The plot thickens; I decided to pull the Sherbourn amp out of the cabinet. I have 3 other 2 channel amps (only need 4 channels) I can use while I decide what to do ( a Crown K1, an NAD PE 2200 and an Adcom GFA 555 II) . Once I got the amp out I decided to open the top & look around. Nothing...

Yeah, I know what you mean, but Class D doesn't have to be heavy.

I installed 4 speakers for height (Atmos, DTS...) a while back. I was using a Sherbourn 5/1500A to power them because I had it laying around. Fast Forward a few months I decide I want to increase the volume of the height channels so I start running the pink noise generator and my back two...

I can live with uploading a file. Now we just need to determine if an inexpensive device such as the DSP LF from PE will accept a file. I talks to Android & Apple devices. If not, does REW currently support uploading files to any other devices such as Pro Amps with built in equalizers?

Does it communicate with the MiniDSP? If so, how?

I am considering building another pair of subwoofers. I have used REW to tune subs to a room using the limited controls on the plate amplifiers with reasonable success. Being the lazy person I am I became enamored with the PE plate amplifiers with the built in DSP/equalizers and microphones...
