Flint, I understand the weighting. That article you link to is the same one I linked to in my post. On page 3 it clearly shows a difference between the old (bigger, boxy), and the new (smaller, smoother). I was expecting a similar difference as well. But there is none. They both have the same...

By saying maybe the changed the mic capsules (or anything else) from time to time I was referring to that perhaps explaining why there are so many different calibration files for the RS meter, why some tests show the old was more accurate in the bass, and vice versa. I was expecting a...

And here is the new vs old without calibration files and without employing c-weight correction from the software (REW has the option to use a calibartion file, c-weight, or no weight). I chose no weight and low and behold they are nearly identical :o . That goes against conventional wisdom...

UPDATE: See my other post below without the calibration files. These meters (at least mine) are virtually the same. So for those that claim the RS meter is a crapshot regarding bass below 30hz especially, you may be on to something. The following is both a 32 averaged high length FFT RTA graph...

Audioholics is getting closer to posting a review of this sub (compared to 3 others all costing at least 50% more). They just posted an article on how to test subwoofers, and describe the methods they are going to use in the shootout. The SVS did win the product of the year award from them and...

Looking at slick deals, you may be able to get this receiver for $549 at newegg + free shipping + $50 gift card using the promo $50GC

It does have pass thru on HDMI, but I don't really require it as I always use the TV with the HT system. From the manual for verification: "When set to “On”, regardless of whether the AV receiver is On or in Standby, both audio and video stream from an HDMI input will be output to the TV or...

Re: HSU VTF-15H In room measurements - All 15 configurations I've just placed my order for three (in case I brick a couple) WM-61A. Should be about $8.25 shipped. So time to head on over to Radio Shack in the next few days or so.

Re: HSU VTF-15H In room measurements - All 15 configurations Here is the FR graph of my sound card.

Re: HSU VTF-15H In room measurements - All 15 configurations Well I took the time to calibrate the built in sound card of my 3 year old dell (which I unfortunately didn't do with the previous measurements) as this is a bit complicated with REW, or at least I thought it was. All I had to do was...

Re: HSU VTF-15H In room measurements - All 15 configurations Cool pic. Radio Shack also has a 25 watt pencil iron for $8.79. I'll probably use that one as I can stop by after work and pick it up (no need for shipping) I read that if there is a housing for the mic that it needs to be air...

Re: HSU VTF-15H In room measurements - All 15 configurations Soundhound, What parts exactly do I need if I'm going to just wire directly to the PC? Looking at this article, it looks like I don't need the resistor and capacitor. Is that correct?

Re: HSU VTF-15H In room measurements - All 15 configurations Thanks for the feedback soundhound. So stuff like this will work?: http://www.amazon.com/Wilmar-PENCIL-TYPE-SOLDERING-IRON/dp/B000N346SG http://www.xump.com/science/Solder-Resin-Core.cfm?SID=156

Re: HSU VTF-15H In room measurements - All 15 configurations What about the laptop sound card? Is the DIY mic good enough that one shouldn't worry much about the sound card? Also what solder equipment do you suggest (I don't have any).

Re: HSU VTF-15H In room measurements - All 15 configurations What happened to the pictures :(

Re: HSU VTF-15H In room measurements - All 15 configurations The $40 item is a preamp. Also what about the Dayton Audio EM6 mic? Is is any better (or worse than the Behringer?). Also, either of those mics can have a bit of variance to them from model to model. You can buy calibrated versions...

Re: HSU VTF-15H In room measurements - All 15 configurations If I did get a better measurement setup what all would I need other than the USB preamp and mic? I'm not sure how to mount the condenser mic on my tripod either... Also, what about these pre amps (all cheaper than the M-Audio...

Re: HSU VTF-15H In room measurements - All 15 configurations I'll agree that the response isn't accurate (i.e I don't know which plot really is the flattest). The cost though of the ECM8000 ($55) and M-Audio sound cards (MoblePre $99, MoblePre MKII 4 $150) aren't cheap. That's $155 - 200...

Re: HSU VTF-15H In room measurements - All 15 configurations It was in my first paragraph in post 1 ;) I did find this article about the RS Meter(s): http://www.audioxpress.com/magsdirx/ax/addenda/media/koya2811.pdf I am using the NEW version since my OLD version seems to not always want...

Re: HSU VTF-15H In room measurements - All 15 configurations Aaron, I can see where you are coming from. A few things though to consider. The reason why the differences appear to be less on the separated FR graph is that each horizontal line is a 20dB difference whereas the first graph is only...
