Hello Members,
Hopefully someone will be able to help me with this issue.
I have REW installed on a Dell XP13, with a UMIK-1 plugged into the headphone jack of the laptop, and the right/left RCA connectors into my DAC. I use the balanced out connections to connect to my amp and both subs via a pair of Whirlwind Split 6 (dual mono subs with both L/R channels). I've also tried using the balanced out from the DAC directly to the subs and it doesn't make any difference.
Using the Check Level feature, I need to basically set the volume on my farthest sub from MLP to max, as well as my DAC to get to about 76dB. I can dial back the subs volume by about 4 clicks to get 76dB on the closer sub.
Subs are Rythmik EP15. One is 13' in front of me, positioned along the left wall, about 4' from the front wall (sub is facing directly at the right wall). The other sub is along the right wall (facing directly at the left wall), behind the couch of the MLP (about 7'). Room width is 13' by 40' long.
My mains are 8' from MLP in an equilateral triangle set up. Sensitivity is 91db/4ohms.
When I measure the mains, I only need to set the DAC volume at -22 to get 76dB, where the subs need the DAC to be -2dB.
If I leave the DAC at -22dB, it means I'm not really getting much output from the subs at all.
Does anyone have any suggestion how I could get the subs and mains to the same level?
I've tried increasing the volume setting on the microphone in Windows 10 from 53 to 100, but it doesn't make any difference.
I've also done nearfield measurements with one of the subs in the middle of the room, and the mic is about 1/2" from the center of the sub. I have no problem getting to 100dB.
Please note, this is for an audio system only, I don't have anything connected to a DSP to allow EQ'ing.
Thanks.
