When the iSEMcon EMX-7150 arrived and I connected it to the RME Digiface using the same (saved) settings for RME TotalMix as I previously used for the M23R, it became clear that the culprit was neither the Digiface nor any software settings.
Hi @juicehifi and all interested
I received my iSEMcon EMX-7150 last week, did the measurement with the new mic the day after.
For this measurement I used exactly the same software settings (Audiolense, RME Totalmix) and the same mic position as for the previous measurement sessions.
Looking at...
Hi Bernt,
Big thanks for your detailled answer, the thoughts and knowledge you put into it. I am really amazed and read it more than once or twice. Grateful for the time and energy you spent for this!
If I go slowly through your post:
Both calibration files are ok, so there's no issue here...
Thanks Bernt for looking into it.
I double checked the calibration files I used for the UMIK-2 measurement and for the M23R measurement:
I did use the file named "Earthworks_M23R_8946Q_ECF_Audiolense.txt" for the M23R measurement, while I used the file "miniDSP UMIK-2 8100207.txt" for the UMIK-2...
Thank you Bernt
I attach three measurement files, two were done with the M23R and one with the UMIK2. All were done with a 10 seconds sweep. If it would be helpful, I can make another measurement with a different sweep duration on the weekend.
It's using the miniDSP provided calibration file.
Without using calibration files for the two mics, the discrepancy for the two measurement charts remains.
Yes, with the RME Interface one has to use TotalMix and having EQ unintentionally activated for the Mic Input or for the hardware output would be a problem and could cause what I observe. Good point, but I was aware of this and checked that EQ is deactivated at all places in TotalMix.

"The USB mic gain / sensitivity vs 48v-powered mic pre's gain are not the same..." I agree, but this does not explain the big difference in the SHAPE of the two frequency curves, specifically in the range 200 Hz - 10000 Hz.
Or in other words. why are all the following ratios for the Earthworks...
I have a 2.0 setup in a difficult but acoustically well treated room. I wanted to improve or at least confirm my previous measurements done with a UMIK-2 USB microphone with a better measurement mic, that's why I bought an Earthworks M23R.
My audio interface is rather nice and robust, it's a RME...
This happened to me also just recently. But only twice and I am using v6.22. Therefore I am more looking at Windows than at Audiolense (or its latest updates)
The problem is the *.cfg file syntax:
see this post from @Omid
audiolense-6-14-is-out.8080 post-61163
Just modified my *cfg files accordingly and now it works great also in Roon.

Hello
I am a new Audiolense user and learning/experimenting since a few days. Here comes my first question:
I have passive speakers (2.0 Stereo). I am using a miniDSP UMIK2 microphone. Speaker measurement went well. For filter measurement I used the default (true Time Domain). I experimented...
