To get a good calibration, I expect I will need at least one known/reference source or sensor?
The reference for me will probably be my coresound Tetramic. I will probably use Kef eggs as speakers as they are coaxial transducers. Only at low frequency will The port be offerter. Have I understood The basics? I will probably measure outside a calibration Day orborrow a anechoic room at swedish radio.
