Mic placement

Hi Ben, 

Thanks for the post and apologies for the slow attendance on our side! 

I'm assuming you've already figured this out but just in case anyone else is wondering - this question is addressed in-depth in this article: Speaker distance measurements: midrange drivers

Hi :-)

The KALI IN-8 V2 is a three-way monitor with one LF driver and a single concentric coaxial midrange and tweeter. When the ref mic is placed as instructed at the very beginning of taking measurements it is then aimed directly at the tweeter located in the center of the midrange driver - again, there is no separate midrange driver and separate tweeter. Cross-over points are: LF to mid at 280Hz and mid to HF at 2800Hz.  How should the ref mic be placed for the initial close measurement in this situation? What would you recommend? Thank you very kindly for your insight and assistance :-)

Hi rexton93, thanks for reaching out!

Please try pointing the mic to the center of the top mid-range driver and tweeter, the locating signal is set to 1 kHz frequency, so this should cover it. Perhaps you can also try changing the locating signal type to B and C in the Measure app's 'Preferences' in case there is some trouble during this step (there is a 'Preferences' option in bottom left corner of the Measure app). 

Zane,

Thank you very kindly for your advice! 

Tavai veselībai and Cheers, Eric :-)

Is there ever gointo be an expanation of what exactly choosing option “B” or “C” in mic measurementswwill change in the outcome of mic measurements? I mean. exactly how would one know to usethe other options of measurement?
