Sometimes when making measurements, the high frequencies get measured as 2.5dB louder than other recordings, despite both recordings taking place in the exact same conditions: mic in the same position, receiver with the same settings, all speakers in the same positions. Additionally, I live in a quiet place and take great care to reduce any unwanted noise during sweeps. These "boosted treble" measurements are not outliers, but happen for many measurements in a row. In fact, lately they have been happening more frequently than my "lower treble" measurements, which has me wondering which measurement is correct, or if neither of them are. Here is an example of two measurements that were taken back to back in the exact same conditions.
I use a UMIK-1 mic with the calibration file provided by miniDSP. I do the sweeps with a Macbook Pro plugged into my receiver via AUX. If I recall correctly the pink noise level test before sweeping measures 79 dB according to REW. These are both measurements of L,R, and Sub playing simultaneously. Octave smoothing is 1/3. I would really love to know what I'm doing wrong.
