Hello Dan, Thank you. That is a good suggestion. Perhaps I should get the right microphone from the start. I am working on a tight budget, and was hoping to get enough useful information without purchasing another microphone.

Hello John, That is very helpful. Thank you. The Audient actually belongs to my son. I borrowed it for this project. I had no idea of how to use it correctly. Thanks also to Wayne, whose good advice had fallen on deaf ears.

You are right on both counts. However, for my home listening/recording room this microphone is good enough, and I have found a calibration file, attached. The irishacoustics.com reference you gave has this to say: "The frequency response bumps of any reasonable mic are tiny compared to the 30dB...

The Mac Pro tower computer has an optical fibre output. This goes to the Schiit DAC, which in turn is connected to the Schiit headphone preamplifier, which in turn is connected to the Yamaha amplifier, which in turn is connected to the Jamo speakers. This is the setup for normal use. I thought...

Hello Wayne, You have directed me to a diagram that shows the setup for making measurements of the room acoustics. I already know how to do this. It is, as you say, not particularly difficult. It was not clear to me how to calibrate the electronics, without measuring the room, and without...

Indeed. I found it confusing. I know that the calibration of the sound card does not correct the sound card, but when measuring room effects it will removed the sound card characteristics from the room effects that have been measured. Yes, they are excellent: Both Schiit boxes and the Audient...

Hello Wayne, Thank you for your suggestion. The Audient iD4 Mark II uses the USB-C to get power and to send a digital audio signal to the computer. It is also possible to use it as the output, and use the iD4 as a preamplifier for the speaker outputs. I am following this instructional video...

Thanks for the suggestion. I am a rank beginner, and do not know what acoustic synchronisation means. However, I am sure that my system (the Audient and Schiit boxes) must be imparting some distortion to the input and output. You can think of this setup as an external sound-card. Without...

Hello Wayne, Thank you for your suggestion.

I have been watching YouTube guides on how to use REW, but these have not been helpful. To calibrate my sound-card I am instructed to connect the output of my interface to the input of my interface. What interfaces? This is wholly unclear to me. I have a Mac Pro 5,1 Tower computer running...
