Measuring speakers

The Behringer DEQ2496 has a spectrum analyser function, and is cheap enough to be bought simply for this feature. (About $350 including microphone). Much easier to use than the RS meter and test CDs.

Furthermore, after you see your in-room frequency response, and recover from the shock, you can go about fixing it using the automatic equalization feature.

When I test my speakers, I use a Rolls MO2020 signal generator and my RS sound meter. I find it to be very effective.

Eldartford,
I use the DEQ 2496 as well. Wouldn't you still need a test cd as well? If I am wrong please fill me in, but I believe the unit only has a pink noise generator. I am not questioning your knowledge, but you got me questioning mine. I could be missing out on some very useful features of this EQ.

Thanks

Nuguy...For frequency response measurement and correction all you need is the internally generated noise signal. However, a test CD, such as the one put out by Denon, includes other tracks that I have found useful.
