Too much trouble to do a wiring diagram, but here’s a picture and gear run down.

Same here with yours! I have no idea what most of it is or what it's for! Nice to see the vintage Nak pieces still in service...

Wayne, how are you going from the information available from the real time analyzer to the channel specific parametric equalizer settings per channel? I am assuming, please correct if wrong, that the analyzer is measuring from your main listening position and thus is a representation of all channels plus the influence from the room.

It’s a lot more simple than all that.
The CX-A5000 has two discrete and fully independent HDMI outputs. I have one of them sent to a cheap HDMI to analog audio converter with stereo RCA outputs, which feed line-level inputs on the RTA. So basically, it’s just displaying the frequency response of the program signal, not the room.
I do have the calibrated mic it came with, so I can do room measurements with it. However, REW essentially make it obsolete for that use.
Still, I enjoy the program display, especially seeing how low music recordings and movies get.

Wayne
