    Can I utilise any of this equipment to elimate my sound card from REW measurements system ?

    oh cool, I didn't know there was a pro version! On the back of that, not my intention, but I'v noticed a problem with my impulse signals/tab. When I adjust the delay on my pair of MiniDSP2x4s sometimes it iis not reflected in the measurement, the wave will exactly match precious sweeps even tho...

    Can I utilise any of this equipment to elimate my sound card from REW measurements system ?

    Thanks John I realise that now, I originally wanted an optical out to the minidsp but then it would need to be converted to digital, pretty pointless as the DSP does the same, Ill just upgrade the analog connection. I wondered if I could use two beringer mics with my miditech 2 channel...

    Can I utilise any of this equipment to elimate my sound card from REW measurements system ?

    Iv been using the same setup with a miditech2 external soundcard for years now but Im just reproaching things after a couple years away from my CAR audio system. I cant remember but is the loopback connection needed for relative time alignment ? After all aligning the drivers between themsleves...

    What souncards / setups are you using for REW measurements WITH loopback for timing ? (MiniDSP)

    Hi all. Im always trying to improve my sound system in my car and Im unhappy with my analog external miditech3 soundcard setup I use for REW measurements. I would like to keep the noise floor as low as possible and ideally use optical feeds to the system so to avoid noise ito the DACs. I have a...

    2 channel external soundcard with optical line out for REW ?

    Yeah I thought about it, what I was looking for was the same sort of device but with an optical line out to my DAC but I think because everything inside the soundcard is analog so then Id need one with a DAC inside to connect to my DAC which does seem a bit pointless. The mic is XLR which I...

    2 channel external soundcard with optical line out for REW ?

    I use a beringer XLR measurement mic for REW. This is connected to a miditech audiolink3 soundcard. I prefer to use loopback for timing and this has 2 channels with 1/4 inch jacks. It does the job but it means using the analog inputs on my minidsp 2x4HD via the headphone out 1/4 jack which is...

    problem with SPL measurement limit

    If I take a full scale measurement of my system then up the output from my DSP by 3db and do another sweep most of the range goes up as expected but the the subwoofer peak stays the same, ike Im hitting the limit. This has mislead me plenty of times in the past and I just sort of winged it by...

    REW time alignment clarification needed

    Actually I just realized this tutorial is from MiniDSP - https://www.minidsp.com/applications/auto-eq-with-rew/measuring-time-delay The crossovers between these 2 speakers are LR48 @ 200hz Aligning after the crossovers are set is what I thought and confirms my discovery a couple of years ago...

    REW time alignment clarification needed

    Hi all. Iv been using REW on and off for a long time now and Im reproaching my cars 4 way active system. I wanted to clear up some grey points starting with time alignment of a pair of drivers. Anything in bold is a quote from REWs own tutorial. I have loopback timing which simplifies taking...

    A more advanced target curve design tool ??

    Its always a struggle to find the tools but ill look into the ones you mentioned. Also at tbe moment when im driving and listening to music, i might say to myself that note or part of the tune sounds a bit harsh then find myself wondering exactly where that harshness lies in the frequency...

    A more advanced target curve design tool ??

    Hi all. Been a while since last post but revisiting my SQ system again. Seems I cant just leave it alone! Setting up a car for sound quality is a struggle as there are so many elements involved but having the right tools for the job can make life easier. I dunno about everyone else but I find...
