The purpose of this thread is to explain how to both physically hook up the connections between your computer and AVR/Pre-Pro to get started with REW (Room EQ Wizard) and to share information on the proper use of REW including proper techniques for both measuring and interpreting graphs, what...
Best: Dirac Live PC / Mac apps plus UMIK-1 mic w/ respective 90 degree mic calibration file. Besides the Dirac Live software you also want to download the Dirac Target Curves courtesy of @markus767 and his incredibly helpful and thorough Official Dirac Live Thread. Read through post 1 to understand how to calibrate with Dirac.
I bought an amp/receiver second hand and it never came with the calibration microphone. I was wondering if it was possible to use any old mic for surround sound calibration (ie one from a headset) or if I should get a specialised pioneer microphone to calibrate it with. A mic's a mic right? Or...
Here are the receivers/processors that these three mics (courtesy of @zorax2 )were supplied with, along with the Audyssey version, mic model, and date on the microphone: 1. Denon X2200 (MultEQ XT), mic model ACM1HB (Date = 09-17-2016 (this is a recent refurb)) 2. Denon X4200 (MultEQ XT32)...
The Audyssey mic used with Denon/Marantz (and on those earlier Onkyo models that feature Audyssey) can go down to 10Hz whereas the Yamaha mic can only go down to 31Hz, so definitely not the same. No info available on the Pioneer mic.
