These are my first few measurements with REW in my HT. No calibration what so ever has been done yet except for level matching speakers. No Aydyssey and no Behringer DSP filters either. I'm sure these graphs won't mean too much yet, but I wanted to post them anyway because it was fun
No room treatments have been applied either, superchunk bass traps are waiting to be installed though
This first one is full range from 10hz - 10khz, crossing over to sub at 120hz and speakers set to small...
These next two are subs only, 10hz - 100hz, no tweaks at all, just a baseline run. The first one is front center LP and 2nd is rear center LP...
Marantz SR5005 AVR
Behringer EP4000 amp
Behringer FBD (no filters yet)
(4) FiCar Audio IB3 18's in a line array on front wall
DIY Econowave LCR speakers
Once again, these graphs won't mean much but it's a start. Any tips and tricks you can jot down would be fantastic...
My only questions so far are...
The R-Shack meter feeds a bit of static into the sound card input that I hear through the avr, is this normal?
Should I consider upgrading to a Dayton Omni Mic?
How about the sound card, right now it's a basic USB SoundBlaster sound card.
Also, how do I word this... Right now, I have the sub levels in the AVR set to 0 (neutral) and I turned up the amp gain enough to get 75db out of the subs with test tones (this is when I was level matching speakers). This leaves the amp gains at about 1/3 the way up. For ease of asking the question, lets say the amp could put out 900 watts at full gain, with the amp gain at only 1/3, is the amount of power the amp is able to send to the subs only 300 watts no matter how strong the signal being sent to the amp from the AVR is?
Gosh I hope thats easy to follow
