Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions My REW readings

The sound cards are about the same price, but it would be nice to keep using this PC for other purposes, it is actually a pretty good PC, 2 gigram, 2 SATA 80 HDD's Gigabyte K7N, it works great just a very noisy PC.

Thanks for the info Fred.

Jay - I'm sure I'm reading this wrong... but does the graph go down to 2 hz? If so... 90 dB at 2 Hz, you're liable to scramble your innards...

What am I reading wrong?

2 more questions:

What dB level were you calibrating to?

What is the peak point between 10 and 20 Hz? (it's visible in the 10,15, and sealed graphs). Guessing it's 15 Hz? Looks like very good response that low. Love the PB13.

I set the scale down to 2, I have no idea if that is a true reading or not. The system was calibrated to 75db, so I am a little hot on my bass, but realtively smooth, which I can handle. IIRC, that peak is 16-17 depending on which tune the sub was in. I guess this is what I feel so much of during movies.

Thats not accurate. The ratshack meter (with correction file) is accurate down to about 20hz. Once you get to 10Hz, the readings are probably meaningless.

Well good, I'd hate to think Jay had done permanent damage to his internal organs with those kind of sound waves.

In the other hand, maybe he inherited Iron Man's guts.
