I can calibrate it because I can use the Clio system & Clio mic. like reference.
With a behringer emc8000 the chance is huge that you will have a perfect flat response and phase up to around 10khzin this region they can have non linearity it even can be that it is very flat up to 20kHz.

And like you said you can compare to your clio system.

And when measuring in room with a 80msec window will only give a faulty result.
 
What you think about the BEHRINGER ECM8000 as reference mic. because probably I cannot use the Clio mic. with EMU 0404 ?

Here my phantom supply mic preamp I am using works great. Build with parts I already had.

Hart of the preamp is the opa 2604 a precision op-amp designed for frequency analysers.

Are you using Arta software ?

No I use Hobbybox V6 it is only in german and you have to pay for it.

It can measure TS-parameters of your driver.

I can do one measurement and look at it in different window length without measuring again.
Distortion measurement in % or dB or at 1 frequency.

DB

On one bad frequency that you want to explore higher order distorsion. Like your clio you can also use it for amplifiers.

You can paste two responses who you saved. Like I explained with a short window for high frequencies and longer window for low frequencies.

spl with phase step response impulse response. It is very complete with many custom adjustable layout possibilities.

This is the measurement with dual gate FR

200msec for low freq, min value 70msec

20msec for high freq. min value 5msec

70 msec means that we wait for wave lengths of 24meter. do not now how big your room is?:D
To get a refection of the floor 1.5mtr s enough 4.3msec. to get a reflection of the sealing 3mtr is enough 8.7msec.

so to calculate how long it takes for a reflection to be measured. You calculate the distance the wave has to travel in mtr.

then: travel distance in mtr / 344 = sec
