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,

The Idea of flat is that you get all frequencys at the same sound level. That doesnt mean thats the way Music is recorded. I have a Mcintosh A2 it has a Fixed output pink/white noise or specific 1/3 octive test tones 20 to 20k

I use it to find the best speaker placement in my room and check for bass issue's. I do each speaker independant at 1 meter then do mono at my listening spot
Depending on your budget, I'd also check out the XTZ Room Analyzer "all-in-one-box" kit (www.xtz.se). It only runs on Windows (XP best), but is very easy to set up and use. Cost is ~$300 after shipping and customs fees.
There is no simple answer to the question about what one does with the measurement results. The first thing, of course, is to see if there is any correlation with your long-term subjective assessment of system problems. If so, then those need to be dealt with. How? Physical treatments (see www.realtraps.com for ideas) and physical setup.
