I just picked up a used Driverack PA + but it didn't come with the dbx RTA measurement mic. I have the Dayton EMM-6 electret measurement mic and wonder if anyone can confirm for me that it is a suitable replacement for the dbx mic.
I called dbx and Parts Express and neither was positive but both said as long as the EMM-6 is calibrated and has a flat response it should work just fine. Anyone have any experience or comment wrt this?
Thanks,
Michael

I use these Free programs with my EMM-6 powered through my mixer and then straight in to my sound card.

Wave spectra is a fast realtime FFT RTA, very basic but works great.
Very accurate and realtime readings displayed.
All that is needed is your PC and a decent soundcard of your choice no DSP required.

I was thinking of measurement software like REW:
REW Forum at Home Theater Forum and Systems - HomeTheaterShack.com
or the older ETF and there are some others.

It is not suitable to use automatic equalizing.
To run a analizer is fine. But make the decissions yourself.
The problem is that the analizer wants to make all frequencies equal in magnitude but this is not what you hear. So it is way better to put in pink noise and whatch the display while you adjust the eq. Then you can decide which of the corrections not only look good but also sound right. So you also train your ear.
If you don't believe me, then let the DBX do your eq 3 times and always choose a diferrent mic position. You will end up with 3 totally diferrent setups.
No one in the pro world does the system EQ by a machine.
