The only issue is the level, you should need calibrated pink noise to have the correct level in the auditorium. To set up analog subwoofer you cannot use digital input though. What I did when I didn't have a Cat 85, I played some pink noise through one channel of Non Sync inputs after the EQ and after all channel were levelled (make sure you disable all pro logic and other stuffs!) and set the sub level to 0dB on RTA. Personal suggestion: don't touch anything if you are not confident about what you're doing.

Not bad thinking. There is defibately a cheat for the cp200 to trigger pisnk noise without a generate cardbut I am not sure if such a cheat exists for the cp65.

I have and immediately changed my mind about it being of any use, I found it wasn't a; full range, b; flat.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 05-17-2010 04:21 PM                     Yes I did and it was ruler flat. You definitely need a good sound card and a good software. You can't rely on a notebook sound card for tuning a sound system! My D2 for example is a good source of Pink Noise but the Motu Traveller is a excellent quality sound card.  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 05-18-2010 05:54 AM                     Therein lies the problem, most soundcards are not that great. I looked at it from 2 laptops and the desktop machine in my workshop, awful! So to use the laptop as an RTA/pink noise generator, you'd need a good quality (read expensive) soundcard, and decent software.  |  IP: Logged V.V.Tushit Vijay Film Handler Posts: 54 From: Tenali, Andhra Pradesh, India Registered: Oct 2009 posted 05-18-2010 02:52 PM                     As per Mr Marco said. i used an pink noise generator from my PC through TRUE RTA software. but i meant that it was not correct way to eq the system through them. a leakage sound in surround and sub woofer channels. Note: if any one know how to get a old or new generator . just suggest me .ill try to get it from . and i required with cat 67 extender  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 05-19-2010 03:18 PM                     Wrong sound coming from the surround channel is more likely due to wrong A-Chain rather than B-Chain. I would check A-Chain first (you need an oscilloscope, an RTA and the proper test films) and B-Chain then. But you really need to know what you're doing here! And, please, call me just Marco!  |  IP: Logged V.V.Tushit Vijay Film Handler Posts: 54 From: Tenali, Andhra Pradesh, India Registered: Oct 2009 posted 05-22-2010 07:20 AM                     Marco i made a chain perfectly. And i cannot able to get such frequency in B chain. Can i get the complete details. how to connect with PC and which software to be used. I used TRUE RTA and EVA SMMART LIVE. both i runned Pink noise generator..  |  IP: Logged
