Hey All , so I've got an Termlab , RTA software also included , but there's no mircohpone when I ordered the RTA software it wasnt clear to me I needed te mirophone so I'm missing a piece , I can measure but Termlab selects the laptops own microphone this is FAR from ideal ! so I could order the termlab mic , but I was wondering if there are any preferably cheaper and "as good as" alternatives would Alpines mic work for instance ?

I am NOT talking about the sensor or the box it connect to . the RTA mirophone does not plug in to that box , and like stated termlab RTA finds the computers own microphone but it reads really off (just between 200hz an 3khz)

No, hehe. Termlab calibrations are used by more than just Termlab products.. Several companies use them in fact and can boast identical results to Termlab. However, for the OP's scenario.. I would "think" only the Termlab RTA can be used. Do you know how the Termlab RTA mic plugs up? If it plugs up via the link box then you MUST use theirs as it must run through Instacal for proper connection. The Termlab RTA is a broadband mic too so KEEP THAT IN MIND! Normal RTA Meters that you see sold cheap like Radio shack's inventory, for example are standard cheap rtas that peak at 130-140db with loose accuracy. A Broadband mic is used to measure higher than normal RTAs (120-140db peak).. Termlab's goes up to 156db.. which is.. ok. One thing you must know about broadband mics is they are NOT as tight on accuracy as a mic calibrated to the precision of a Termlab. This is because they are not to be specifically used to measure individual frequencies. That's why they are called "broadband". They are suppose to be used to measure in ranges, not by frequency. If i'm not mistaken, Termlab doesn't actually sell an RTA that specifically measures individual frequencies. OP, i hope this fills in some gaps of info for you. Let us know the results of what you find. as far as I know that "linkbox" should be an external soundcard with usb connection to get the same readings on every computer regardless, and with broadband all that came to my mind was a broad band (like 15Hz to 50KHz for instance) but I could be entirely wrong on both accounts , radioshack is non existant where I come from so dont worry about that , and my single pair of AA carbon mids are not going to hit 156 on a mear 100 watts per driver .... Jon to what post is that an answer to ?

yup ... or a short film put it on youtube and tag it with her name and the company name .........it will hount her forever and ever and ever ..................and ever or a BJ a day to keep you happy if he's hot (and take a picture for to get your house clean n stuff) lol ... sorry got carried away ...

the first thing that comes to my mind is that voltage drops too low and the amp in its turn turns of and seconds later turns back on again because voltage has risen and so on and so on ..........

really thought one of the 20,000 members would have the answer . so a bump to obtain an aswer ! tomorrow I'm gonna try the imprint stuff on the EQ and since we're at it , see if Termlab finds the KTX if I plug it in the laptop .

maybe if we could see what you,ve done and how it is set up we could give advice where to go from here . ... so.................

softwareupdate , have for some years now, update is from july 2011

good stuff , but really don't think people are going to make better posts because of this .

to SSA

did you measure anything before tweaking (RTA)? and that foam : how wil that react with water , will it absorb or ... ? nice to see people on SSA making an effort on their front stage !! good stuff !

assumption is the mother of all fuckups ! that said , yes it could be ,it could even read 12.9 volt at the amp and not be able to draw current .

thought the ODR system was the best available at the moment .

Pm sent , I'll help

sure , TS is gonna know what that means ... SA-12 is a sundown audio sub the AP1500 is an audiopipe not sure about the amp though , , I'd rather buy a refurb or seconds hand for that money

what video's ???? don't see any ..

Hi , where in germany are you from ... not by any chance close to the dutch border ? Manche leute hier wissen unbedingt wie mann ein richtige streetbasser machen muss , oft kann mann auch direct von die hersteller tips und tricks bekommen ,wirklich einzart !

welcome

would love to build something with that driver .....

asked him , and indeed it was the old m1 (8.5kw rated) ..replaced it with an Cactus amp (7kw rated) and gained a full DB in exactly the same config don't know anyone with DD amps personally and neighter have I ever owned one myself, so I would never comment on that .

downloading .... nice to see someone took the effort of makng an app for calculating boxes !

their site says its scandianavian (and good chance production is korean) . eighter way , a friend owned one of those amps but had difficulties getting real power out of it even though his electrical was on par , switched to multiple smaller amps that combined had the same rms rating and measured way more output + a lot better score . dont remember exactly what the amp had in terms of output , but nowhere near rated specs another issue with those amps is that the board may/will break loose from the housing due to vibrations (bass) , but that an issue for most of the 7 / 8 Kw amps
