I am watching a youtube video from Home Theater Gurus on the use of the Mini DSP HD 2x4 and REW. I think I understand the steps to go through to help subwoofer placement and balance. But I am a bit confused on the purpose and its use, though. I am planning to purchase one of these devices to get into the measurement aspect of improving my own home theater.
1) Why is this DSP needed in addition to the room correction of the receiver? I can't tell the difference in what the room correction and DSP are doing.
2) I only have one subwoofer at the moment. Is this useful?
3) Can I use these tools to measure the performance of my front speakers, or is that a different tool (maybe just the umic-1)? The reason I ask is because home theater gurus just uses the hardware and software for subwoofer performance. I would also like to make sure my listening positions have equal SPL for more frequencies than just low- frequencies.
Thanks,
