Mic Position and Room Analysis
Impropermicplacementwhenanalyzingasound
system can result in the system appearing to
have problems that don’t actually exist. Below
isaquickreferenceforpropermicplacement.
Primary Mic Position
Thisisthemainreferencepointforaspeakerand
can be used as a single, “representative” position.
Your goal in setting the primary mic position
is to find a point that puts the microphone in
thecenter(onaxis)ofaspeaker’sthrow,within
thelistening area. In other words, you want to
put the microphone smack dab in the middle
of where your speaker sounds its best.
SecondaryMicPosition
Secondary mic positions provide your system
analysis with more information to get a more
“three-dimensional”view of your system.
These can be on- or off-axis measurements
ofaspeakerwithinthe listening area. Avoid
usinglocations outside thecorecoverage
area of your system, or on the edges.
Withanymicposition,avoidcreating
position-dependent anomalies.

Ground Bounce
Ground reflections, or “ground bounce,” become an
issue when a speaker is flown and angled down.
Thepropermicposition,inthiscase,willalso
catch the reflection of the signal off the floor.
Reflection
arrives
~4ms late...
Inthiscase,youcanchoosefromthreeoptions:
• Blockthereflectionwith a baffle.
• Do a ground-plane measurement.
• Do a multi-point measurement to
randomizethe effect of the floor bounce.
