Acoustic distance

[Dirk Steimann]

Hello

is there a way to determine the distance between a speaker and a mic using rew, i don't mean the speakers among themselves and no i don't want to use a laserdistance either

best regards

You would need an interface with analog inputs, one for your mic and another for a loopback connection taken from another channel, ideally from a line output on whatever drives the speakers to eliminate any processing delays but failing that from another output of the interface. Then measure with "Loopback as timing reference" and the measurement result will show the delay as time and distance.

so av are doing this internally, correct?
at least that is my current state of knowledge

Meaning for automatic speaker distance setting? Pretty much, yes.
