Mic Frequency Response

Severus24689 · 20th January 2011, 06:19 AM

Hello,

I am a new user so plz dont mind if i am posting in the wrong section.

I have different microphones which I need to categorize based on the frequency response. Can somebody plz tell me how can I obtain the frequency response of a mic? Or recommend softwares to do the same? A reference mic is available for use.

I was reading about softwares like ARTA, TrueRTA etc., but all those seem to be used for loudspeaker freq response measurements. Can the same be used to measure Mics response?

It's a lot of work and it's easy to make measurement errors, but this is a paper on how one brand does it.
