Default DIY measurement mic calibration how to?

I need good tips to make a tool to calibrate the sound pressure level.

And calibrate the measurement microphone.

Here a artikel:

Who has a good DIY solution?

look at the documents for the ARTA program. For low frequencies, a chamber can be made to make calibration - for high frequencies, I tried doing a reciprocity calibration using a tweeter and a dynamic mic in addition to my Behringer and got mixed results - I plan to build a fixture to hold the mics better and a sort of sound proof box to reduce noise.

Thanks Ron,

I will look at the help in arta.

I was thinking of a piezo buzzer the problem stays the same. What is the exact loudness to start with.

It would be nice to find a piezo buzzer like this one. http://www.image.micros.com.pl/_dane...pbgkpi2312.gif

With a accurate spl at given voltage so it can be a reverence. With accuracy better then +/- 0,5 dB would make me happy.

Are you mainly looking for spl or frequency response?

EDIT: Sorry, missed your first post entirely.

Hi Helmuth,

have a look into the ARTA-Compendium (Chapter 5, page 47)
