I’ve just begun setting up and measuring REW, but I continue getting a “The measurement distortion is very high” notice, and it ranges somewhere between 10-14% depending on the sweeps. My system:
- REW is installed on a Windows PC
- A Umik-1 is connected to the usb port of the PC, and I am using a 10’ usb extension to allow the mic to reach my listening position
- The output is connected from the USB-C port of the PC to the USB-C input of my DAC (SMSL-SU10). This USB-C cable is about 6’ in length
- The connection from the DAC to my Pre-amp (Ladder Bach), and from my pre-amp to the power amp (Arcam PA240) are all balanced XLR
- I have two REL subwoofers connected to my speakers through the high level input connection, but I get the distortion notice regardless of whether the subs are powered on or off
Any suggestions on where to look to address this?
Thanks!
