I am using a Neumann MA1 (yes, with factory calibration file), with a Topping 2x2e sound interface. I also have a miniDSP mic, but not using it right now.

One follow up question. You mentioned that the mic level input can be -60dBFS to -20dBFS, so long it's 10 dB above noise floor. Do you mean 10 dB above the noise floor of the room's ambience environment? If so, I presume I would measure the noise floor of the room using my hand held dB meter...

Thank you!

Yeah, I have self-diagnose OCD, so I tend to unconsciously go into the rabbit hole. I really do appreciate you being patient and taking the time to help. More importantly, I also don't want to screw up the measurements, because I plan to send it to GIK for them to look at and make...

Sorry, I have to spell it out. I stated that: "Some sources recommend anywhere from -24dBFS to -12dBFS, some just straight out say use -18dBFS." And you are saying I can calibrate the input level of REW to as low as -48dBFS and it will be fine as that is still 16-bit resolution? Is that what...

Can you elaborate this? -48dBFS in the output or input? Sorry, as I've mentioned earlier, I'm a newbie.

Thanks John. Few more follow up questions. At what dBFS level should I aim for the input to be? Some sources recommend anywhere from -24dBFS to -12dBFS, some just straight out say use -18dBFS. What does REW recommend? If I am calibrating the input level to be at, say, 75 dB, using my...

Thanks John! I'm a complete newbie to REW and not so verse in sound measurements in general, so thank you for your patience in advance. I'm still not completely getting it. It sounds like one of them ensures the output level is accurate and one of them ensures the input level is accurate? I...

REW newbie here. Several questions on calibration and level check. I read the manual, and it didn't make sense to me. What exactly does the check level do? I get it that measurements are usually made at 75 dB and the manual tells you how to use the check level function, but what does it do...
