Is loudness compensation one of the features?

I have less experience but that was my instinct. Thanks for confirming. I think my wife will be happy to not have height speakers above a walking path. Now bed level rears…can’t do anything about that. Lol

Appreciate the unsolicited feedback, but not related to rear height placement and in any event not practical here. Also, sub response is highly dependent on a number of factors. That said, my hope is to smooth out height modes eventually with Dirac ART - LCR speakers are basically immune to...

We’ve recently closed on a new home (moving from the one I asked about here), and are planning to basically transplant our current immersive 7.1.4-channel system into the new home, but with 3 key changes. The material one here is a change from in-ceiling speakers (at Auro-ish placement – over...

I would never want the TV lower. Our current home has a blank front wall but the TV is mounted at about the same height as in our old home in that photo. First, the center channel should be the same loudspeaker as L/R, in the same orientation and the same height. The main flaw in that system...

Main system (immersive) has three subs, all "DIY" (I bought the drivers, designed the cabinets, had them professionally built): Currently they are: 1) BMS 18N850, 85L closed box designed to look like a cabinet (and with some useful storage) 2) 2x Aurasound NS15-992-4A (both firing into the front...

I know this has been done for UMIK, but does anyone have a mathematical transform to get a good-enough 90 deg cal file for Earthworks M30? I realize I could get a 90 deg cal file using John Reekie's method - but I'm lazy! I have my M30's ECF, and Earthworks also supplied me a "generic"...

Ah, that makes perfect sense. Thanks!

This thread is a continuation-but-not of my thread last year regarding multi-input SPL calibration. Since then two things have changed: 1) I ended up getting an inexpensive microphone calibrator. 2) I picked up a Motu 8Pre interface to expand to up to 8 channels. However, I can't figure out...

That would be great, thanks!

What's the most efficient workflow to calibrate four microphones to be equal in SPL for a given input for multi-mic measurements in REW? Is there a decent way to do so without using an external SPL meter? I recently upgraded to REW Pro with an eye to using it for two things. First, taking...

Yeah, it was a dumbass mistake...I was actually injecting the test tone into the DSP through the Mac mini's optical output rather than the 4Pre's coax digital out. So there was nothing to loop back! I tested it tonight (at low levels) and am getting a consistent -12dB loopback channel level now...

In all candor, time. After all, it took me almost 3 months to go from asking the question to blocking off the time to study and attempt implementation! That said, I did try it and I could pick my mic input but loopback did not work. REW said the level was 97dB too low or something like that.

To come back to this, I finally had a chance to read the guide - thanks! - and go back to the Clarett 4Pre. The guide was very helpful but not wholly on point, because 4Pre USB has more complex I/O. That said, after reading the guide, watching a video tutorial or two, fumbling around in the...

I recently picked up a Focusrite Clarett 4Pre USB because I thought I might buy REW Pro and make simultaneous measurements to save time. However, I've been messing with the Focusrite Control software and simply cannot make heads or tails of how to set up the interface for use with REW and a...
