    How does it look?

    I simulated 4 subs by moving the two existing subs to where the new ones would be and ran the MSO optimization and looked quite good vs simulating any combination of 2 subs, so I purchased two additional subs. I am running now two subs with the optimization from MSO and haven't had problems...

    How does it look?

    Looks good! How did you time-aligned them? Do you have each of the 4 on a different channel and adjust timing of each channel, did you move subs physically, or other? I have 2 subs, waiting for my next 2 kits to arrive, and plan to use a MiniDSP 2x4HD and Multisub Optimizer to accomplish...

    How to measure frequency spectrum of a thump on power off?

    I measured this today. Black is ambient noise. No noise in the house. Red is trace registered when I turned off the amp connected to the midrange, so no protection caps. Interestingly, the trace shows this noise has content from 300Hz and up. The magnitude seems low enough...I think. About...

    How to measure frequency spectrum of a thump on power off?

    reportedly it sounds better without caps, and I'm told it introduces phase distortion. I would like to try and listen, if it's safe for the tweeters. Alternatively, I might need to buy audiophile caps as I used cheap ones to get going. Maybe I try it and conclude I don't hear a difference and I...

    How to measure frequency spectrum of a thump on power off?

    Thanks for the quick reply! I didn't fully understand what you indicated, but let me answer your questions Can I save RTA response? In the past I used it to measure ambient noise, but wasn't able to save it. Transients are short so saving it would be important to be able to analyze it later...

    How to measure frequency spectrum of a thump on power off?

    Hello. I'm running an active speaker with digital xo and have the tweeter with a protection cap connected to a single ended amp (SET). I was considering getting rid of the protection cap, but to make sure this was safe I first connected the SET directly to the midrange driver, turned on/off and...

    Why no Output Volume displayed with ASIO?

    How do I do that? From REW or the Tascam knob that shows a range from Mic to Line? The latter seems a mixing function and hence I was avoiding. If from REW, how do I do that? Thank you

    Why no Output Volume displayed with ASIO?

    Thanks for the quick answer! Yes, I had the Mon Mix turned all the way to computer. How do I deactivate input monitoring? Regards

    Why no Output Volume displayed with ASIO?

    I've been using an EMM-6 with Tascam US122mkII for a long time, and today I was trying to measure a driver (laptop>Tascam>Hypex UcD module>woofer) and couldn't adjust the volume to an appropriate level for measuring. I must be doing something wrong. I selected ASIO, 48kHz, have calibration mic...

    Calibration of Tascam US122mkII

    Of course you nailed it!! I had not set up on Windows Control Panel the device to be at 48kHz by default. And thank you for clarifying "input and output", because I switched the output and couldn't get REW to work until I figured I had to also set input at 48kHz. Thank you so much!! How does...

    Calibration of Tascam US122mkII

    FWIW, here's with 1/48 smoothing. Looks as I would have expected, but I was also not expecting to need to smooth a calibration file.

    Calibration of Tascam US122mkII

    I realize there is another thread asking about the same card, but I'm experiencing a different problem so didn't want to pollute the other thread. I'm attempting to generate a calibration file for the Tascam. I connected a cable from RCA line out to the 1/4" line in (my EMM-6 mic connects thru...

    REW Beta Release V5.20 beta 5

    Thank you. I have two midbasses per side: one at 55cm from floor and the other at 75cm. Tried both, ended up using 65cm. Room Sim is a great tool!! As I explore room treatments it's outstanding to be able to model the effect on the low end. How should I think about the surface absorption...

    REW Beta Release V5.20 beta 5

    Outstanding!!! Thank you!!! Question: when I model the main speakers, considering we are modeling under 300Hz, should I enter the height of the midbass, the midrange, or tweeter? I imagine it's the midbass, but checking. In fact my speakers have double 6" midbasses per side. Should I enter the...

    REW Beta Release V5.20 beta 5

    Hello. Just checking this is still not available as an option (that I'm not finding). I haven't used room simulation before and found it to be an excellent tool!! Not only for simultaion what I have now, but to evaluate future plans and would be really good to be able to come back to those as I...
