"OMFG, Krypto is getting a mic finally!" - Page 15

that's why I call you KING.

well, this is going to be permenant. Sure I'll take her down to make her a little less asthetically obtrusive... maybe I will get 6 rolls of duct tape and line the MDF with it so i have a grey door, make some trimmings of PL PRO and Great Stuff foam, even a resin window. Maybe some gold and red spray paint? But it's staying. At least till I come up with something better. It's so MAGICAL!

son of a..... and I just threw this together in 3 minutes:

when I calibrate the mic, I have 6dB of fluxuation. Can I calibrate with the tone generator and a single tone?

The "permenant location" killed it, before I had the oak door propped up on one side and the MDF only partially covering the other side, but I had it open and leaning so it left plenty of room to walk through. With it secured on the other side it seemed to lose its effect, but tomorrow I wan't to run incremented sweeps again, but I don't feel comfprtable with the calibration. Maybe it's because of the -10dB sweep i did initially and now my peak is from -15dB sweeps?

all that work and it went against me. I can scroll the phase, I purposely left it in case it was helpful. It sounds and feels so much louder way down low though.

home electric so damn fun, seriousely! nyt u were right, junction 2. no scalding, no charing, no burn marks. looks like tin snips cut the wire off right after the insulation...weird. But heater is running now, its all good, except I disconnected the outlet for now. Should I hook it back up or test it first? How do i test the outlet with the DMM without hooking it up? I assume if it is fried, it is stuck closed, and it would re-fry my wiring and/or pop the fuse.

Thanks DBL! What symbol is continuity? Yes they are so easy... I love the screw clamp, I had some audiobahn subwoofers that were bolt down...miss that, love newer amps that have allen wrench bolt down vs the old philips head screw down as well

So if it is fried and I hook it up, will it re-fry my wires?

And why didnt the fuse in the panel blow to begin with?

Since you say that i feel comfortable wasting a $2 fuse before $10 and a trip to the hardware store

The main thing is, I am learning and getting comfortable with home wiring. So much stigma has instilled its fears.

alright guys, I know I have a huge steep dropoff at 10Hz, but I am very sensitive in general... for example, I am watching Beywolf at -30dB with the subs at +10dB.... when I am already 30dB short on my mains. When single digit stuff gets to wobbling, I perk up. I absorb it. I love it.

So is there a way to record squiggly lines to other material to show what I am sensing from movies using the mic? Best I can think is the RTA but rather than using the generator, lower the dB WAY down so that the single digits register and take a snap shot.

I will run some more sweep as as soon as I can with the new door in its open position and the spare room door mostly closed. What I swear to is single digits, is aprox. trippled with the new door but in its open position. I have a feeling it's like car audio SPL: Completely sealed up is the worst, hardest to get deebeez. But 2nd worst is hatches, doors, and windows all opened up. No loading, as well as omni-directed rather than focussed. Generally the highest SPL is one or both windows down, or one or both front doors open, everything else sealed up tight.

I think complely sealed up I am choking it, but right now is better.



red is door/entryway, blue is windows, towers are in the top right room, on the right side, facing left

cool I'll check that out.

I'd like to settle this once and for all. I am sitting here watching another scary movie on flix. It never fails, it seems to me to have PLENTY of output in the single digits. Is it just me, am I mistaking frequencies above 10Hz for single digits? I just don't believe that mic saying I fall flat below 10Hz. I'm not buying it. I am laying there and I FEEL very good ULF, but my subs are barely even moving at all. I am sure it is combined with higher frequencies both intended as well as harmonics which increase these effects, but I really believe there is weak content down low that my enclosure reproduces very well, add in my 8x8 absorbtion panel trapping a large portion of it and transmitting it, connecting it, to me.

In this film I am at 5 minutes and 23 seconds on Netflix. Up until this point it has been very good, but right at 5:23 a car passes and it's a touch better.

Awesome. Thank you very much Mike. I think thats what notnyt was telling em to do as well. Ive gotta set the rig up again when i am ready to move some heavy stuff and do more drilling. Want to comapare several different door positions see if this giant door I put up will stop working against me on the plots, as it feels/sounds much better with the door 1/2 way clsoed but I havent run sweeps that way yet.

I just need to know if I am nuts...if so, fine, 10-15Hz seems like 5 Hz... well that saves me a boat load

pretty cool, sure helped me a lot to get my heat back on

well here we are again



IDK whats wrong, receiver master at -15dB (kissed the back plate just barely I think...first time running sweeps with the outside doors open) tried recalibrating the mic, checked levels on PC...
