All I'm lacking is a mic and I'm considering getting a calibrated Behringer ECM8000 from Cross Spectrum Labs... Cross-Spectrum - Calibrated Behringer ECM8000 Microphones for Sale. And using Room EQ Wizard analysis software REW - Room EQ Wizard Home Page with an maudio USB external sound card. Who knows where it could lead. Anyway I'd like to hear your thoughts and details about your measurement project. And why did you select the EMM-6 over the Behringer?

Thanks!

Oh, I've been going measurement happy on everything, the room, sub placement, all my surround speakers, speakers I haven't finished yet, etc.

The reason I picked the EMM-6 is because it showed up on sale, so I managed to snag it for quite a bit less than the Behringer.
