Gearslutz.com - View Single Post - Standing too close to the mic during room testing

I thought i'd share what happened when i got in the way of my room measurement. Isemcon mic and USB box - standing about 1/2 meter behind mic. (3 measurements behind mic, 3 far away)

Here's the results: i clearly show up in the ETC around 4.5 - 8.5 ms (which should be the correct distance involved in this test).

Frequency wise, low mids 200-800hz a few db difference here or there, definitely would not want to generate an EQ a solution from it, but for general physical low trapping placement would seem fine.

I didn't notice any significant decay differences so i didn't post the waterfall.

This mic is a shotgun / pencil mic, so prob not a big deal to hold an arms length away with the RTA function (which would be at least 1m).
