    NAD C3050 meters and levels

    After finally getting my NADC3050LE delivered, there were a couple of things I wanted to understand in relation to the analog input and preamp outputs, as I need to use both: run a separate phono preamp into the line in and drive a separate amp from the preout.

    Do we really need to EQ the room?

    I already had a discussion on this with some people but I still don't really get it. Now I am also not that deep into audio to really understand everything but this is what makes sense to me. Lets say we have a speaker that measures perfectly flat in an anechoic chamber. This means that the...

    Is it possible to flatten out a non measurement microphone?

    I was wondering if one could flatten out a microphone by inverting the frequency response found in a graph.

    Behringer Truth B2031A - how to flatten it with the switches in the back only

    In my review & mod of the speaker, most people liked my tinkering to make it better, but some "understanding" souls told me I know no engineering or that I simply got a broken speaker. Well, I bought two more! With 3x B2031a purchased each separately over the course of 2022, I have a good view...

    Creative Sound Blaster G3

    Hi guys, I wanted a small device for digital/analog audio measurements so I bought Creative Sound Blaster G3. It has Line-in and mini-Toslink Optical inputs. I used Topping D10s and REW to do some testing: Line-in performance is quite underwhelming, but what surprised me is that the digital...

    Importance of SPL-Response Linearity

    I keep looking at these graphs in Erin’s reviews and thinking these measurements deserve more discussion. Doesn’t a lot of difference hear suggest that the speaker’s dynamic response is poor?

    Hey all, In another thread, y'all might be convincing me to invest in a minidsp UMIK-1 measurement microphone. I'm thinking about one advantage of a USB mic: portability. Could a smartphone use the UMIK-1 and its calibration profile? If so: Is there a recommended app for iOS/Android that's...
