I have been fiddling with REW after some extensive room treatment I just wanted to take some measurements.

Having nothing else at the time I (maybe stupidly) plugged my Audyssey mic into REW. Loopback test signal output to mic input is all good to 20 Khz but with the mic itself plugged in I strongly suspect the response falls off to almost completely dead from about 8khz rendering the room measurement useless. Its down about 40dB, 8-20Khz. The room is floor to ceiling acoustic panels and the speakers B&W N802's.

Does anybody know if these are very basic mics used for Audyssey and is there nothing special about them? or is something else going on?
