My REW Measurements basement;

[3db]

I've been busy with REW lately..using it yesterday to find the best location for my single sub. I found it left of the fireplace as shown below. The couch spans 6' across so I took 3 measurements, at the center, 24" to right of center, and 24" left of center.



Here's just the bass response with no PEQ;


Today I took full frequency sweeps with various settings of YPAO. The results are not very good and I'm wondering if being too close to the backwall is the culrprit at play. The mic is only 19" from the back wall. Here are the results at 1/6 smoothing for each of the PEQ curves. Crossovers were set to 80 Hz

YPAO=Flat


YPAO=Natural


YPAO=Front (based on the Main capabilities)


YPAO=Off

In similar circumstances, when lacking details, I'll kindly ask if the cable is properly connected Been there, done that.

LMAO at my own stupidity for not mentioning details.. .. It was working yesterday but today, the light will not turn on nor does the PC see the mic. I tried it on my wife's windows10 laptop as well and the same symptoms. Even tried swapping out the USB cord for the one with the miniDSP and still no go.

Did you make sure to push the mic end of the cable in until it kinda “snaps” in? Iirc mine needs to snap in place. Probably something else but hey...

It snapped in but no light. I was going to use it and try to remove that dip between 80 to 125 Hz using the phase control on my sub. I guess I'll have to wait.

Once I get my REW mic issue resolved, I will play with the subs phase control to see if I can lessen that notch that Im seeing.

Customer support at minidsp sucks. I ordered another mic this one through Amazon with a 3 year protection policy for less then the price I bought the first one. I'm still go to badger the shite out of that company until I get support.
