Hi,
This is my first time using REW, and I'm attempting to take some measurements of my room.
I'm using the Behringer ECM8000 mic and the PYLE PAD30MXUBT Mixer/Phantom Power: https://www.pyleaudio.com/sku/PAD30MXUBT
When I click "measure" I'm getting a flat response, so I must be doing something wrong. (screen shot of measurement below)
Here are the steps I'm taking before clicking "measure".
First, I downloaded REW and the Behringer ECM8000 calibration file.
I plug the usb cable from the PYLE mixer into my computer.
I run a RCA cable from the "main mix" of the PYLE into my preamp inputs and connect the ECM8000 into the "XLR mic line in".
I place the mic on a stand at listening position.
Next, I open REW, click "preferences", then select my input and output devices, and click the "browse" button to select the ECM 8000 calibration file:
Then I click "calibrate" and adjust the levels on the PYLE mixer until everything is close to even:
After that I click finish and it begins to measure:
This is the result:
Then I click on the "SPL Meter" button and using an app on my iPhone I calibrate by changing the db level to match the level on my app:
Then I click "finished" and this pops up:
I go back to the main page and click "measure" and this is what I get:
One strange thing I should note is that when I tap on my mic I'm able to hear it through the speakers. Shouldn't the mic be reading into the sound card and not playing back through the speakers?
Thanks for looking! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
