I don't need to measure the actual response of the circuit, just to isolate any differences between the sides.īefore anyone suggests measuring the whole rig acoustically I've never found this to be satisfactory when dealing with small and repeatable differences, I have recent experience on an install at a world famous studio where we could blatantly hear a difference that we could not measure.
#FUZZMEASURE VS REW DRIVERS#
I've swapped tweeters and this was inconclusive, swapping mid range units is difficult but possible and I can access spares.įor my own peace of mind I'd like to measure the crossovers and I know this will be difficult because of the typical low impedance of drivers and the 10k input impedance of my measuring gear (REW/Fuzzmeasure and pro DAC/ADC). I'm getting a subtle variation in frequency response and I'm trying to determine whether it is in the crossover or drivers.
#FUZZMEASURE VS REW PROFESSIONAL#
So far only REW is usable but hopefully will find some more time soon to dive into Smaart8 and get that to work.I'm trying to track down a subtle problem with a pair of 3way passive professional speakers. I have several questions, so will try to balance my wanting to ask several questions v ridiculous length. It is useless demo but app looks very clean and simple, like that. I used to use fuzzmeasure after my first attempt at REW was daunting a few years ago. I also tried Fuzzmeasure, but their demo is so limited that you can't load microphone calibration and can not make more that two measurements. And I tried UMIK-1 with Audiotools on new iPhone and ipad but it doesn't work reliably and StudioSixDigital won't fix this as they sell their own microphones. On the newer iPhones and iPads it could work but again microphone is a problem and I can not use old interface as it has 30 pin dock connector. There are many advantages to using a sine wave sweep versus pink or white noise. However, if spatial averages using random samples in a given area are not stable.

I never wrote individual measurements were stable. Extremely fast impulse response and linear phase response make the M23 ideal for use with high-quality FFT-based real-time audio system measurement software like SMAART, SIM, REW, Electroacoustics Toolbox, FuzzMeasure and others, as well as for use in PA system alignment and loudspeaker design. REW has far surpassed FuzzMeasure in feature set. FuzzMeasure is my preferred measurement software, because I prefer the UI. As with most room measuring software, REW uses a sine wave sweep as its signal source. REW, FuzzMeasure, Arta, Clio, Soundeasy, anf so on are all equivalent for this task. The measurements Ive done for Audiolense and Acourate were done with REW and they matched up very nicely also. It was nice and easy on a mac using Fuzzmeasure. For some reason the Dirac DAP messes with the sync in REW on windows and I couldnt get clean measurements through the DAP filter.

It is affordable (€54.99) but then it is not possible to install on my old iAudiointerface on iPod touch. In the next part Nyal Mellor will offer similar information about FuzzMeasure, a popular and highly capable program for Mac computers. At that time, I used Fuzzmeasure instead of REW. Smaart in AudioTools app offer some basic Smaart RTA with single channel module. Lightning fast impulse response and linear phase response make the M50 ideal for use with high-quality FFT-based real-time audio system measurement software like SMAART, SIM, REW, Electroacoustics Toolbox, FuzzMeasure and others, as well as for use in PA system alignment and loudspeaker design. Just want to be sure that I am doing the measurement properly, but in the first try couldn't figure it out. I downloaded Smaart8 demo and tried it out, but it is very powerful and complex program so I will need to spend some time with it first to get familiar with all the options and possibilities it has. There's tons of info about using these kinds of measurement packages out there on acoustics forums I'd take a look over at Ethan Winer's forum or the Room EQ Wizard's forums. These systems use time-windowed sweeps to derive impulse response - they are quite different from just 'pinking' the room and give you much more accurate measurements in addition to a picture of what the room is doing over time - some of these packages allow you to place multiple mics in different locations and average them in a single measurement, though you can do the same thing with Fuzzmeasure (and I think REQW) by just moving a single mic around and averaging the measurements after the fact.

Studio Six Digital also makes a very powerful suite that can be used on an iphone or ipad with an external interface and decent mic. Personally I like Fuzzmeasure Pro and an Earthworks M30, but Room EQ Wizard will do basically all the same stuff for a lot less money (free), and for room measurements you can get by with a much less expensive mic (though it should be purpose-designed).
