MEASURING HALLS, ROOMS
The measuring procedure of a venue is slightly different than that of measuring devices.
Measuring venues requires a larger setup, which includes a playback device, a microphone
and a loudspeaker. We can use the same session we were using for the device recordings,
only instead, we connect the output of our playback device to a speaker, and a microphone
should be assigned to the input of our recording device.
SET-UP:
Connect the output of your source (HD card etc…) directly to or through the mixing console
to the loudspeaker. For the input, connect the microphone cable directly to or through the
microphone pre amp to the recording device.
Output source (HD card etc…) ➝ Input of the speaker.
Microphone cable ➝ Input of the recording device (HD card etc…).
You can use a microphone of any kind, with any polar patterns. We recommend a cardiod or
omni-directional microphone. After deciding which microphone to use, set up the microphone
with the speaker located in front of the microphones, to achieve the best results.
MONO SESSION:
To make a Mono IR, create two different channels. The first channel will be the sine sweep
channel and should be assigned to the loudspeaker. The second channel should record
the microphone signal.
MONO TO STEREO SESSION:
Simultaneously record one speaker (Center) with the Left and Right mics.
FULL STEREO SESSION:
To create a 4 convolution IR, Record your Left speaker with the Left mic (LL) and Right mic
(LR). Then record the Right speaker with the Left mic (RL) and the Right mic (RR).
