Looking for Room Measurement / Speaker Setup Software

Thanks.  The mic I get, what am I connecting the RCA cables to?  I assumed the software will read the levels/freq data the mic 'hears' and generate a graph of room response.
I am going to order this.

Ian is a newbie to this, which is why I recommended OmniMic, it's a lot easier to use and get data from. :)


REW will work and has a big support forum, but it was also more complicated. Ian, you should go check out the Room EQ Wizard pages and forums, they'll answer all of your questions in detail.


Best,

What exactly are you trying to achieve with room frequency response measurements?

So you probably won't be interested in a preamp with built in room correction.

I'm thinking anything from an Antinode to Anthem. Those would probably be great help.  If that's true, would you be willing to use a digital EQ before your DAC?

Best,

I am trying to find the best location for my speakers.  Tuning by ear has been effective but I still like to see what the frequency response looks like.  I also have a lot of diffusion/absorption products I can use to tune so I'd like to see their effect before & after visually.
As far as an EQ Preamp, I had a DSPeaker Anti-Mode 2.0.  While it certainly adjusted the room response it degraded SQ.  I had no idea how much until I tried it with/without in my system.  Maybe it was the extra cables involved but it was anything but transparent with my equipment.  I use Audysssey in my HT setup but I haven't heard anything transparent enough I'd use for my 2-channel.  I'm not saying something that good doesn't exist, just that it would probably be out of my price range.
