Hello to all, finally I approched to this forum that overall I think is the best for Audio discussions.
In all these years I was member of many local language AV forums of course, and meet so many people and had so many discussions, but none offer a dedicated section about REW as AudioNirvana does.
Now, I read all manual, followed all tutorials, bought an UMIK-1 and started to test.
The reason to start approching to REW was I heard a difference between Dali Oberon L and R channel.
I swapped the two speakers and hey! the difference swapped as well. Was for sure a speaker problem. I explain the situation.
My set-up is asymmetrical. Room is rectangular but at the left I have a solid wall, at the right an open space. Yes, I have my setup on the left wall of the room. Can't do it different, for sure.
I can post my pictures here but for sure I can't change now the position. I heard the left speaker more strong. Ah! what a discover! It's closest to wall!
But when I swapped? I heard sound swapped.
My brain followed the speaker? Can't be.
So I bought an UMIK, I installed REW. I checked volumes, I used Bluetooth sent to my Amp, Audiolab 600A, to sweep.
And my microphone in front, pointed to the R speaker, between tweeter and middles, parallel, at 1 meter of distance: (1/6 smooth)
Then I swapped the speakers. And this are overlap results :
The lesson I learnt: don't trust your ears. Your brain lies to you.
Fase 2: take measure of listen point. So I placed my microphone on a tripod, on the sofa, at the heigh of my ears, pointed to the center of the space between front speakers.
These are the results:
Violet is the L speaker, that close to the wall, the green is the R speaker. Now. Are these results reilables?
I don't want to ask here the first day (however suggests are welcome of course) I want to understand and study, but overall are these results that exclude mistakes?
Ok, I post the graph without smooth.. I'm in dubt, maybe something wrong with measure.. well all that I ask is: Am I in the right way or I'm doing some big mistake?
Meh, crazy graph.. at the moment I can't understand what means.
Thank you very much and nice to meet you!
