Hi,
I'm a newcomer in HiFi, starting with a pair of Yamaha MSP5 and wanting at first to master my room.

I'm coming here to demistify my calibration issue of REW 5.31.3 installed on a mini mac running with Sonoma 14.6.1, using an SSL12 soundcard and a DBX RTA mic.

I perhaps missing something on the parameters and concretely i cannot pass the setting test properly.
Impossible to go ahead -40db....

I 'm going to give you éléments on a proper post.

Waiting that, any advice welcome

Thanks all

Hi Bass, Happy New Year. As the others said best place to ask about REW issues is at that REW Support Forum. REW Author John Mulcahy is there often. It can be difficult to get SSL and Mac OS and REW to all play together nicely. I would start with the Mic and follow the signal using say your voice and the meters in REW.
