Re: Software for frequency measurments

I don't need "true" measurments, only the data from one measurment compared
to another. Like the difference between a certain omni, in the dish, -
compared to another omni, in the dish. 
I need top compare one PZM design in the dish with another. Etc. 

I hear what is going on, but it is very nice to also see how that change is
described in terms of a diagram. 

The mic beside the loudepeaker, about a meter away, is only a "leveler". It
flattens out some of the irrgularities caused by the loudspeaker.

Like so many others, you seem to miss the point with a parabol. A parabol is
a parabol and it does what it does. It can never be compared with an omni or
a directional mic. It's another tool. Please read the white papers at
telinga.com.  

Best wishes,

Klas.
