Hugh,
Very nice forum.
I'll be as present there as I am here.
I've learned much from you and hope to learn more in your own back
yard!
Thanks for the generosity and humility.
Refreshing!
Ditto!
Thanks,

DRC applies mic calibration to the filter, not the TestConvolution which
means that all those frequency responses are without mic calibration and

Thank you -- an explanation that makes sense! Now I understand why my

No, I don't misunderstand. You were trying to apply a mathematical
definition of polar radiation where it does not fit. A typical dynamic
loudspeaker is a far cry from your pulsating sphere. Regardless of the
strictest definition of the term monopole you may care to employ, a

I might try that. Actually I was thinking, as more and more people get
their ECM8000 calibrated, but others don't... (or can't, for me in
Shanghai I wouldn't know where to go), would it be possible to build so
kind of database of the calibration files and compare
Here is muski's calibrations file (vertical axis in dB, horizontal is
log base 10 of frequency). The second plot is smoothed by averaging
over each consecutive set of 10 values.
It looks very roughly like the plot Behringer gives here, in the

Seriously though, everyone should be very skeptical about these claims

to make a Faraday cage out of the best conductor you can find - NOT

Like any test signal, you do need to recognize it's limitations though.
