Hey everyone,
I want to measure my Yamaha HS8 speaker at my audio engineering institute.
I`ve got a measuring mic, interface, software (FuzzMeasure 3) and an absorbing liveroom. (I know that an anechoic chamber would be optimal, but there is none at my disposal).
Does anyone of you know how to properly measure the speaker ? Are there guidelines like "The microphone must be placed 1m apart from the speaker, at the height of the tweeter.." or something like that ? (The guys from my institute can`t help)
Some questions I have:
- Should I measure with an MLS-signal ? I`ve heard that this doesn`t show the room`s acoustic answer so much on the diagrams, so that would
be good I think..
- How far away from the speaker should the mic be placed ?
–> Also at which height/altitude ? (general positioning of the mic)
- Does the mic have to be calibrated ?
- How loud should the emitted signal be ? (94dbSPL ?)
-...
If anyone of you can help me with that or can post a helpful link, then I`d be more than happy.
Thanks,
Ferdinand
