I have been using REW with great pleasure and it has been my fav tool for acoustic measurements and EQ work etc. Since a couple of months, i have taken up the challenge of designing a passive crossover (i had only worked with DSP previously). One of the areas I am paying lot of attention to is...

Thanks for your comment. I am measuring one loudspeaker (the tweeter in this case) at a time. I use REW mostly for loudspeaker design.

Will do so. This will give me some insight if baffle-diffraction etc have something to do with this perhaps. The dropoff is at high frequency, so shorter wavelength. Let's see.

I am measuring from 1 meter distance on 0 degrees.

All; I have been wondering about this for a while, but doing a measurement with my Umik-2 on someone else speakers brought this topic back to actuallity (is that a word?). Since I have been using my Umik 1, and later the Unik 2, i have been seeing a decline in measurement response above 10K...

Amazing!

Just downloaded the latest version that now has the Linkwitz Transform as a filter option and loving it! This makes my workflow even easier! I did notice that the paramters for the LWT filter get overwritten if you ask REW to match the target curve, where I would prefer for it to stay fixed...

Got it. I opted for the Oehlbach because a friend endorsed it. They are expensive, but i spent so much time on this, i wish i bought the expensive cable right away. I had to make some changes to my setup to work with the 3m cable (i used to have the 5m, but it gave nothing but problems as you...

I opted for a 3 meter (9 foot?) Oehlbach cable.

My new cable arrived today - works perfect now.

Okay - i made an experimental setup so i could measure with the UMIK-2 and the original short cable. It compromises my setup a bit, but good enough for testing. With the short USBC cable, i get consistent measurements without the drop. The measurement below is without any filters active. The...

I just made 2 audio recordings using the Umik-2. One with the original USBC cable that comes with the Umik-2. Another one with a longer USBC cable i use for measurements. The recording made with the longer USBC cable has static & tics. It is very audible when I play back the recording. The...

Thank you John - i'll do some tests with cables etc. The cable is obvisouly different from the Umik-1 as it's a USB-C connection cable. I purchased an extra long one, as the one that comes with the Umik-2 is too short for decent measurement of my speakers in the setup i use. I think i tried...

It works just fine with the Umik-1. Just not with the Umik-2. I am happy to spend the money needed - that is not the issue.

Thank you, and yes the 1st episode was better. But I cannot trust my measurement system and that is a big problem of course. I use REW to analyse the design of my speaker. I design these in FreeCAD and get them professionally printed. This is very costly. I need to ensure that the measurements...
