Hi to all,
I have built a boombox inspired by Paul Carmody – Isetta. Since it was an old project, I’ve done my twist to it link.
Being a maximalist (very, very bad thing), I have ordered an Umik-1, downloaded REW (in order to measure it like I’m building a spaceship) and guess what I am stuck even though I have read many post (ppataki, Keith_W, and so on) it is still unclear how to properly use it, so your help will be greatly appreciated.
What I’ve done so far
And this is my first attempt:
Questions:
It is getting lengthy post, so if anyone is still awake and willing to help I'm attaching my measurements below.
Thanks!

What I’ve done so far
- Make sure all Windows sound enhancement are off.
- Loaded the cal file of the Mic. (0) degrees.
- All effects in ACPworkbench are off.
- Ran multiple sweeps and RTA, while in RTA mode I figured out (could be wrong) that one of the dip at around 70Hz is room/wall/down firing port related.
- Settings:
- RTA 1/48
- 1/48 smoothing
- 32k
- Exponential 0.88
- Hann
- 75%
- Done measurements outside
And this is my first attempt:
Questions:
- Crossover – how do I know where/should I
- How do I apply EQ filters in ACPWorkbench after REW spits them out and where?
- EQ REW filter shows headroom of 5dB, should I decrease the gain and where Main, Left, Right?
It is getting lengthy post, so if anyone is still awake and willing to help I'm attaching my measurements below.
Thanks!
