Ok, thank you guys for sticking with me on this. Sounds like both coherent and incoherent sounds, when combined, have an insignificant effect on SPL. If DSP corrections result in lower than enjoyable levels of bass, its likely not because of the high SPL at low frequencies being reported by the...

Very useful, I see how lower dB incoherent sources have lower than expected effect - this is very useful for motorcycle communication systems (more on that later). This has me questioning what exactly is incoherent noises relative to our discussion of linear slope increasing from 0dB (at 3500Hz)...

John and Sam, thank you for taking the time to help me understand what's going on - I'm certainly no audio engineer, and have next to no experience with mics and certainly no knowledge of how they work. I assume they translate diaphragm /coil movement to a signal - essentially a speaker working...

To me this mic response explains so many issues I was having - like trying to get that nasty 50Hz peak to go away. I ended-up with PEQ adjustment of -12dB gain and Q = 2.7. Now I know the mic is hyper-sensitive around 50Hz, and it's actually not the subs - its the mic. So my adjustments are...

@sam_adams Thank you for the advice, set smoothing to none and averaging to 32 - as you showed. From what I see in the RTA graph, mic response seems to be nearly flat (0dB) from 20kHz down to 3500Hz, then takes on an increasing linear slope to 30Hz, where it ends-up at +40dB. If the mic is...

Using DaytonAudio UMM-6 with calibration file. Even with no sound in the room and the mic capped on the business end, I get this response (see attached)... Seems like I should be seeing a perfectly (within the bounds of UMM-6 precision tolerance) flat frequency response. The little peaks and...
