I'm trying to physically place two drivers on a baffle so that they are time-aligned. To do this, i have first made a best guess, built a baffle with a certain offset, and measured each driver using acoustic timing reference in REW. The issue is that neither phase nor calculated IR offset changes at all if i move the baffle several cm towards the mic. It looks like all i'm getting is the minimum phase.
Is this a limitation of the acoustic reference-method? I'm using a separat speaker as reference.

No, should work. You have the timing ref going to one output channel to your ref speaker and the measurement sweep going to your test speaker? Maybe post images of your Soundcard preference and Measure dialog settings, and perhaps an mdat file.
Today it just worked. I get accuracy within a few mm, and ok consistency.
In pure desperation yesterday i ordered an xlr mic and audio interace so that i can use proper loopback. Can i expect the same or better performance when it comes to timing?
