Do you want to measure your speakers like a pro from the comfort of your home? In this video, we’ll show you how to perform gated measurements to analyze your speaker’s frequency response and behavior accurately, even in untreated rooms.
With gated measurements, you can also generate directivity plots, which show how your speaker distributes sound at different angles. This information is essential for understanding your driver’s behavior and controlling its dispersion for better audio performance.
You’ll learn:
What gated measurements are and why they matter
How to set up your microphone, speaker, and software for gated testing
Step-by-step process to measure frequency response and directivity
Tips for minimizing reflections and achieving clean results
How to use tools like REW (Room EQ Wizard) or ARTA for accurate plotting
Accurate speaker testing is now within reach for DIY enthusiasts and audio professionals alike. No anechoic chamber? No problem! Follow along and get clear, actionable data for both frequency response and speaker directivity.
