Which microphone to use for speaker analysis?

Not quite sure about the significance of the 1m... Are you then introducing a need for an anechoic chamber etc.? Or do you need a gap for a more representative free field response as opposed to the pressure response anyway?

If they are bolted together, they will interact and product a response which is different again from the speaker by itself. Some distance will reduce the interaction to negligible levels.

spot: now that we are off-thread google "Motional Feedback". Philips did that in the 70s! E

Ahggg, now that I've searched these forums and found the article in 1997 'Electronics World' "roaring subwoofer" I'm just going to have to build one (well something similar). Its getting a bit OT though so I'll go over to the subwoofer forum.

1m is just the standard distance so that your curves will look like ones done by others. The actual response is 1/2 of the deviation you get. Sensitivity is a bit of a problembut can be reduced by increasing the send level. (Make it loud!)
