measurement

Hi All, I'm new here - so let me know if this is wildly off topic or has already been dealt with. This site is messing with my head (re-educating me) about equipment; gone are my dreams of beautiful class-A valve monoblocks costing more than my car and instead I'm thinking about teeny little...

Apologies if this is a discussion which has been had elsewhere. I will delete the post if so. I just went through the calibration and measurement process on the latest SoundID Reference programme. I wanted to check: -> the process which locates the microphone in 37 positions. The programme...

Erin just posted the Emotiva Airmotiv T2+ (3-way) tower speaker review! Retails for US$1000/pair. Look at the size of these bad boys! Overall conclusion from Erin: Thanks to @hardisj for measuring this beast of a speaker. :D Discuss!

I have an extra Polk Reserve R100 bookshelf speaker sitting in a box, so I wanted to gauge the interest on having it measured on a Klippel NFS.

This is a quasi-anechoic spinorama measurement of the Revel M16 passive bookshelf speaker. Although this speaker was one of the relatively early ones measured in high precision using Klippel NFS in a review by @amirm (link), I figured it is always nice to have another independent data point so I...

Hi! I have been doing some research on some measurement mics and have been interested in 4: dbx RTA-M Behringer ECM 8000 Dayton emm-6 Presonus PRM 1 My question is: Which one is the best for measuring rooms (home studios mainly) and calibrating studio monitors?

Has anyone ever attempted to measure the effects that the stock iPhone EQ’s have on frequency response? For people on the go, I think it would be super handy to know which frequencies the stock eq’s like Bass Boost, Bass Reduction, etc. boost and/or buck. Especially for people that are...

I've been here at ASR for a while and I really appropriate the work Amirm is doing. But I just can't find any tutorial threat about how to read and analyze the measurements he has been presenting. There is a YouTube video about headphone measurements, but I didn't found anything about DAC and...

I acquired this interface cheaply and have performed some measurements to evaluate its suitability for measuring amplifier etc. https://www.presonus.com/products/firebox This is an example of a several generations old budget audio interface. Measurement setup is with a 3 conductor jack lead...

Hello everyone Recently, I ventured down the rabbit whole of measuring stuff. Got a cheap measurement mic (which is really quite accurate) and some cables/adapters for use accordingly. My question is however, how to roughly measure speakers while bypassing the room variable. I used to measure...

Hi, I'm looking to get a speaker measurement microphone. But, I am unsure what all the specific benefits/downsides are between the UMIK-2 and OmniMic V2, besides the difference in price and Dayton's software. I would appreciate some help. I likely would not be using Dayton's software, which...

In another thread there was some discussion of matching levels for test tracks, and the topic of how to measure levels came up, so I tried a quick comparison. The phone was balanced on top of the UMIK, so it's mic was only about a centimetre away from the UMIK's capsule: In a quiet room I get...

The question in the title relates to quasi-anechoic loudspeaker measurements where we do a gated far-field HF measurement, and splice it with nearfield LF measurements of woofers and ports. I've mentioned this already in another thread, but thought it's maybe better suited to a dedicated...

Recently I have bought 4 pieces of Hofa Natural basstraps from Germany and I decided to post my measurements here in ASR so everybody could see what these things can do in a living room in a real-life situation. I got two of the 1 meter models and two of the 0.5 meter models - both are the...

So time ago I decided to look for cheap speakers that I can put on my desk. I found used Akai SR-S38 that where in decend shape. I brought them home for 90 PLN (20$) and put them on a desk. Quickly decided to get them off and repaint, (poop brown is not really in my taste). What can I tell...

Anyone interested in the measurements of affordable Focal monitors, Shape 40 and Shape 50? I think they are a very good basis for a great system. Amplifiers are AB Class, DSP-free Active Crossover. Hi Pass Filter 45/60/90hz 12db/oct. I have measurements of Shape 65 and they are very good.
