Sweet, looking forward to it. Wish I could say mine showed up ahead of schedule.

OK I know I do not have things set up right. Still trying to figure out how to get the correct SPL. Not sure if I need to purchase an SPL meter to calibrate the mic, or if I need to account for background noise etc etc.

I had to use a spl meter to calibrate Rew to the mic on order to get the levels right. Even though the mic came with a cal. File. I did not think you had to do this with a umik-1 but it would not hurt to double check.

Well, got almost everything working, uploaded an eq file to the minidsp to flatten out the response, but have not figured out how to hook up the mini dsp . Done for the night, even though the expected graph was pretty damn flat, I did not get a chance to remeasure. If I can figure out how to wire up the minidsp i might try again tomorrow.
Here is the graph that REW/miniDSP predicts after eq:
If I can figure out how to get the mini dsp hooked up I will run some sweeps and see how close it actually comes.

PB2000 in room, miniDSP EQ applied. Still have some work to do but not bad for a quick attempt with a single sub: (no smoothing)
MiniDSP seems to be dropping the sub output level quite a bit so I have some fiddling to do when I have more time. I also plan to add my Polk PSW110 nearfield as an experiment on how it affects in room response even though it is a much different sub.
