My first measurements Justmls

[widi]

Hello friends, this is my first time I'm doing measurements justMLS and although I read the manual and I've been looking through the forums, I need your help to know that I am going in the right direction.
The hardware used for measurements is:
Targeta Esi juli@ sound.
microphone preamp M-Audio mobile pre usb.
Behringer EMC8000 microphone.
20W amplifier.
Jig, which I built, designed by John K., this is where the link is: http://www.htguide.com/forum/showthr...6&page=1&pp=35
Images of these measurements are:

I hope your comments

Thanks in advance.

Please someone I might lend a hand, if I'm not doing the measurements?

It looks right. I'd say that the data below 500Hz is invalid, as that is likely system or other noise. Usually the bottom end is tailed off to reconstruct the actual (theoretical) low end response.

Thanks Shaun
May be due to 14uF capacitor that I have to protect the tweeter?.
If something is worth what I put the capacitor in the tweeter's negative not to interfere with the jig.
It is also correct to connect the capacitor?.
Greetings.

Using the capacitor to protect the tweeter is fine, as long as the reference point is on the driver side of the cap. But, as you have seen, it consequently degrades the signal-to-noise ratio at the lower frequencies. If you are confident of controlling the signal level to the tweeter you could try it without the cap. But I have no experience testing the limits of what drive levels a tweeter can safely tolerate, so I won't make any recommendations. I recently stopped using a series capacitor for frequency response measurements... but only because I discovered that the tweeter was still undamaged after accidentally testing it without the cap a few times.

BTW, I use SoundEasy.

Hi Shaun, I do a test without a capacitor protection, and have low signal happens.

[Shaun]

It is not clear what you mean by that statement. Do you want to try saying it another way, or perhaps try posting a pic?

[widi]

What I want to say is that I will try without the tweeter capacitor.

Sorry for not explaining well.

Just by the way:

I find that generally there is a S/N problem at the very low end, because all the equipment in the test chain usually have a roll-off at the low (so it is compounded). At some point I would like to use a DC-coupled amp to improve matters, or at least an amp that starts to roll off at only around 5-10Hz...

As long as you place your reference probe after the capacitor, the measurement will be the same as without it.
