Tools to measure in room response


I've never measured the room SPL response.

Do I just need a Stereophile test CD3 and a Radioshack SPL meter?

Is that it?

Thanks and best regards,

so you've used this thing you post about? how long did it take to get yours?
Thanks to you all.

I have a laptop. I will try to use the RoomEq software. Do you have any recommendation for MIC?

FYI I'm trying to analyze the best speaker placement and also do some DIY sound traps.

Cheers,

I'd also like to see a recomendation for a mic. My laptop is Vista so I can't use XTC.
Behringer ECM 8000 with an XLR cable is cheap and works fine. There are better measurement mikes out there but for room evaluation this is more than good enough. You will need a microphone stand also and a USB interface to your microphone (it uses phantom power) - I'd suggest the EMU 0404 USB - again I am recommending excellent gear but at modest cost (great value).
