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,

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.

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,
