How do I make In-Room measurements of speakers

[johnfromnorwich]

If I get one of these (or similar):

What else will I need? I figure with an ADC, Mic Pre and a copy of Logic (all of which I have) I should be able to cobble something together. Play white noise through speakers? (one at a time ?). Record what's happening in the room? Anything else? As always, any advice is appreciated.

Get a copy of ARTA

Logic isn't made for acoustic measurements, so it doesn't really generate the right test signals or have the facilities to properly analyse the results. ARTA does, and it's free.

Tenson-Thanks for the link but alas I'm Mac/Linux and it looks to be PC only. I've only just deleted my Windows partition too!

Good software and worth running a windows partition for it.
Its the only reason I suffer windows on my mac

You can make the partition very, very small. OS + 500mb or so for the software.

I don't know, but it might run under wine on Linux.
