Measuring speakers


Does anyone know how to measure speakers' frequency response like they do in magazines? I'd like to confirm my speakers' lo frequency specifications to adjust with a subwoofer.

Nuguy...For frequency response measurement and correction all you need is the internally generated noise signal. However, a test CD, such as the one put out by Denon, includes other tracks that I have found useful.
The Behringer DEQ2496 has a spectrum analyser function, and is cheap enough to be bought simply for this feature. (About $350 including microphone). Much easier to use than the RS meter and test CDs.

Furthermore, after you see your in-room frequency response, and recover from the shock, you can go about fixing it using the automatic equalization feature.
