Download Free Software Audyssey Microphone Calibration File

I have been looking at REW for some time now and have decided to get a more familiar on how it works and functions before committing to a calibrated mic (UMIK-1) and MiniDSP. By accident I came across a HT thread that talked about using the Audyssey mic for measurements (I currently have 3 of them). My plan was to plug the Audyssey mic into laptop with a USB Audio Adapter (Turtle Creek Amigo ii) then output through the HDMI to my AV Receiver. My hope is that using the USB adapter will bypass my laptop’s sound card for better measuring results compared to plugging the Audyssey mic directly in the headset jack. Would this be the correct approach?

You can also download the Pro software from the. The Pro mic is supplied with a calibration file unique to that particular mic and. Audyssey microphone with.

Please do not consider this as law, but it is my understanding that using the mic for your processor will not work for rew. It was voiced to Audyssey and nothing else. You are right, it is not a good idea. The reason is not that the Audyssey mic is 'voiced' but that there is a generic correction built into the mated firmware for that mic and an appropriate correction curve is not available for use with REW or other applications. In other words, it will 'work' but the outcome is not predictably reliable. Yes, you are both correct, the Onkyo has it's own internal calibration in the AV reciever.although I doubt the audyssey mics are individually calibrated.probably a general averaging but I'm only guessing. One last question regarding REW.

Once a measurement is taken and adjusted, corrected or EQ'd, can you run a test tone or simulation with the new target curve? I am probably wording this improperly but what I am trying to do is test out several target curves before deciding to buy a parametic eq (MiniDSP/Behringer). Mharo.sonanu.gujrati.song.

I am testing subwoofer placement with and without Multeqxt32 and may decide I do not need an EQ. The purchase of an EQ is not a big deal but I'd rather test and play before buying something I may never use. My initial impressions. REW is definitely an interesting tool that can be a real “eye opener”. Even as a rank amateur I understood how badly rooms effect soundbut seeing it on a graph can be “interesting” to say the least.

Overall REW is a great mapping tool but it does take a fair amount of time to initially setup and properly navigate through the various filters and options. This is obviously not “plug and play solution” like Audyssey, but there is enough online literature to get your through the initial setup. I won’t bore everyone with graphs and waterfalls because the biggest challenge after measuring is deciding what to do with all those measurements. Some folks will eq.treator move things around; others will decide to do nothing. Either way, REW is still a great learning tool! Thanks to REW and HTS for providing such a great service.

Some years ago I traveled this line of thinking and sent Cross Spectrum my Audyssey Pro mic for,testing/generation of calibration files.
