REW Bridge AVR
Session

Save your work to resume it later: the session file keeps the settings, the measurement state and the filter banks. The measurements themselves live in REW β€” save them there as a .mdat file and reload it before importing the session.

Carried inside the session file β€” useful when someone calibrates for someone else.

Connect the bridge and register your AVR to see its configuration.

Room Curve:

Get your measurements into REW

Two ways to get there, and they end the same: your measurements loaded in REW. Let the bridge measure them for you, or import a file you already have.

Audyssey Measurement

The bridge drives the amplifier: it plays the Audyssey sweeps on every speaker and RCH imports each impulse response into REW. Place the microphone at ear height at the listening position before each measurement.

Session state:

Import a measurement file

Already measured with the Audyssey MultEQ Editor app (.ady), MultEQ-X (.mqx) or Dirac Live (.liveproject)? RCH rebuilds every impulse response of the file and loads them into REW. These files carry measurements only: the configuration stays the one of the connected AVR.

Measurement session

Next position:

Position 1 measures the full detected channel plan (detection pass) β€” channel selection applies from position 2.

Channels to measure

When all positions are measured, complete the session and save your measurements as a .mdat file in REW (File > Save all measurements).

Subwoofer level matching

Adjust the gain knob of the subwoofer until the live SPL reads about 75 dB, then stop.

Audyssey filter banks (Reference / Flat)

One bank is saved: only change the target curve, recompute the filters, then save the other bank (delays/gains/crossovers must stay identical).

Transfer to the AVR

Transfer:

Diagnostic support files

Files for inspection or support β€” they are not needed for the transfer.

Calibration archive The calibration archive actually sent to the bridge. Useful to attach to a bug report β€” it cannot be re-imported, and it is not a calibration to share.
Settings file A readable dump of every RCH setting β€” for a backup, or to attach to a question. It is not re-imported either: to resume your work, use the session file.
Application logs The session log as shown at the bottom of the page, as a text file β€” the first thing to attach to a bug report.
