    Speaker Sensitivity Measurement at Set Power

    Tim, Thanks, but I guess I didn't state my question clearly. That part I don't understand is how to ensure that when I make a measurment, I'm actually inputting 2.83 volts. I know that I can set the voltage level to 2.83 volts on the Measurement Level screen. But where I am confused is that...

    Speaker Sensitivity Measurement at Set Power

    If I want to measure my speaker's sensitivity at standard conditions (say 1 watt power) how do correctly set the power level? I know you can set the voltage level in the Level window on the measurement screen. But adjusting the volume control knob on my receiver/amp also changes the level...

    Strange Soundcard Calibration?

    John, Thanks for your patience with me, I made some errors in my previous post. Typing with too much distraction and not enough rechecking! What I meant to say is that the input graphic on the measurement page behaves as I would expect, that is, showing an increase in input signal during a...

    Strange Soundcard Calibration?

    John, Ahh yes, that's correct. I didn't even think to mention that, as I've been using it so long that I forogt about that. When I was originally making measurements using only the built in soundcard on my PC, I found that I could use the imm-6 in the phones/mic combo jack by simply using a...

    Strange Soundcard Calibration?

    I got the Startech Interface and the Umik-1 mic and have successfully loaded the cal file, set up the inputs and outputs, and made measurements. All seems to be working as expected there. Then I was curious how the results with the Umik-1 would compare with the Dayton imm-6 mic that that I had...

    Strange Soundcard Calibration?

    So there’s no reason to include the Sherwood in the set up for the impedance measurement? Is that correct?

    Strange Soundcard Calibration?

    Okay, I'm leaning toward the Startech. Assuming I get the Startech 7.1 USB Sound Card, and UMIK-1, would the following be the right way to set up? FOR SPL MEASUREMENTS UMIK-1 to PC USB port (#1) Startech USB Sound Card to PC USB port (#2) Startech "Front Speakers" output (circled in red...

    Strange Soundcard Calibration?

    What about this? Any better? If not, then this Steinberg UR12? If I get a UMIK-1 and use it in combination with either of these USB interfaces for SPL measurements, would I still be connecting the UMIK-1 directly to the PC? And hence I'd still be using the be using the PC's soundcard for...

    Strange Soundcard Calibration?

    John, Could it be something as basic as this? Would I also be able to do impedance measurements using this? https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/UCA202--behringer-u-control-uca202-usb-audio-interface Eric

    Strange Soundcard Calibration?

    Thanks John, I'll look one more time for those specific settings. Is there any chance the issue is in the HDMI to RCA converter that I'm using to take the PC HDMI output to the input of the Receiver (for measurments) or mic/phono combo jack (for Soundcard calibration)? Should I be using...

    Strange Soundcard Calibration?

    John, Thanks. So I was finally able to run the soundcard calibration using the EXCL drivers. By "preadjusting" the level, I was able to "space bar" through the calibration. Unfortunately, the result was the same (see below). I've searched the soundcard settings for anything that looks like a...

    Strange Soundcard Calibration?

    John, Okay, hitting the space bar works to advance through the steps, until I have the input level set. Then when I press the space bar nothing happens.... Any ideas? Else I guess I'll try the early access build. Thanks, Eric

    Strange Soundcard Calibration?

    John, Here is what it looks like: I tried changing the Input and Loopback inputs (L/R) to both R, but the result was the same. No "Next" button appears. Thanks, Eric
