8341 / GLM mic issue..? - Forum

I'm just trying out my new 8341's in my lounge prior to installing them in the studio, and am experiencing a couple of issues that could do with clarification....?

I have set them up on the GLM network with th calibrated mic after installing the GLM3 om the laptop. I noticed that when installing the GLM software, all the calibration files for the mics were installed as txt files..!

My mic was picked up by the SW when I opened the program, and the s/n displayed, etc.

However, it seems to be picking up a LOAD of background noise! using another calibrated meter, the anbient measures around 32dB: the mic / GLM is displaying 65-75dB!?

When I completed the calibration, the measured level at listening position is around 80dB when listeningto music with the GLM "slider" on 0dB, but the ACTUAL level in-room seems a lot lower than that, in reality?

 

Is there a way to either relaod the cal file, or at least check that it is being taken into account by the s/w?

 

Also, following initial calibration, I updated the firmware for the GLM, and then got the "high background noise" message when I went to re-cal?

I uninstalled GLM, deleted my first group, etc, and started from scratch: the high background message was gone and it let me auto-cal ok, but the measured b/g level in ambient is still 65-75dB.....

 

Please advise, as this is doing my head in: I cannot trust what I'm seeing / hearing.... ;-(

 

But the 8341's are potentially going to be great, when I get them firing on all cylinders....!
