I don't have a great ear but recently I've noticed my system a bit lacking in the deep bass. I ran some sinewaves too and seemed like the loudness of bass dropped quickly under 40hz (even knowing that lower frequencies generally sound quieter). I ran REW with my UMIK-1 to check it out and sure enough 20hz is about 5-6db lower than it should be and it should be the highest part of my curve. Anthem ARC with the anthem mic seems to think that 20hz and 40hz are just as loud.
Why does REW+UMIK-1 and the Anthem ARC mic differ by 5-7db in deep bass? I asked Anthem and they mentioned it could be due to weighing but that doesn't make sense to me since the mic data shouldn't be weighed to my knowledge.
The problem here is to get 20hz right in REW I need to boost the crap out of the deep bass which doesn't seem right to me.
