I have noticed many pictures online of people using the ECM8000 to measure speakers and aiming the mic right at the speaker in question.
However, I have discovered that many of the calibration files floating around out there are for the mic oriented vertical.
so my question is: what's the proper way?
how do you all do it for measurements?
The reason I ask is that I'm seeing weird results in my top and bottom octaves that seem to correlate with the calibration file. So what I hear flat seems to measure way bright.
I'm considering paying for the calibration, but at $100+ I'd like to research my options more first.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
A
