It will generally be useful to calibrate this against some known level.įor example, lets say we want -20dBFS pink noise to measure 83dB in REW. REW measures against an absolute SPL rather than a relative level. Install REW from (note that the beta version is the generally recommended version to use) Windows users can choose between two input methods:ĪSIO is typically preferred if the hardware supports it, this usually means you are using a pro audio interface.Įxamples will be given using both methods. Linux and MacOS users will need JRiver to play the test signal using REW's external sweep feature as described in the the ALSA loopback method ASIO vs WDM The ability to route external audio input through JRiver is only implemented on Windows.

This page describes how to do this using freely available tools. The ability to measure the output from Media Center is therefore an extremely useful thing to be able to do.
