RMAA Measurements

RMAA Measurements

Testing was done with the latest version of Right Mark Audio Analyzer
Output 1 and 2 were connected with TS cables to Inputs 1 and 2 and Gain 1,2 levels were adjusted to provide 1.0db on the RMAA level meter.
Although we measured all sampling rates from 16/44.1 to 24/192 most recording is done at 24/96 so in the interest of saving space we will look at these results only.

Disclaimer: We used every step to ensure our results are accurate However, unseen factors can influence RMAA measurements and your results may vary.

Windy 6

Frequency Response: Is the measured result of the cards response over the audio frequency spectrum. If the measured response varies up or down the cards output is colored at those frequencies. The more linear the measured results, the less color or variance is present in the output signal.
The measured frequency response for the Windy 6 recording interface is excellent.

Windy 6

Noise Level: Is the measured result of the noise present in the output audio signal. Noise can be lowered to a certain extent but is always present even in the best audio systems. With any noise measurements the lower the value the less noise is present in the output signal.

The measured noise levels for the Windy 6 are excellent.

Windy 6

Dynamic Range: Is the measured result of the high and low extremes of the card. It is usually represented as the difference between the highest signal and the noise floor. The wider the dynamic range of the measured device the better the output response. The measured Dynamic Range for the Windy 6 interface is excellent.
