[Sursound] Octomic Impulses Up North

[Jonathan Kawchuk]

Hi all,

I'm gathering some impulses in at-risk environments in western Canada and
I'm looking for someone to rent an Octomic from. I thought I'd see if
anyone in the community is interested or has any leads. Getting 2nd order
resolution is pretty important for this particular use case.

I'm also curious if anyone has experimented with running an inverse EQ
calibration curve for your your sweep speakers in order to compensate for
inherent peaks and valleys in the speaker’s frequency response during
impulse response capture. Not sure if this is needed or if a sweep
generally irons out these inconsistencies?

Thanks a ton!

Jon

The way this is usually done is to record a sweep using an omni
measurement mic, compute the inverse EQ from that and apply it
to the measured IRs, not to the speaker signal (the net effect
is the same).

The is known as the "substitution method" in microphone calibration
literature.

Thanks! Thats really good to know (and much less of a commitment).
