Hi everyone,
i'd like to have your advice concerning woofer T/S measurement. I currently have set my mind on two possible options.
1. Dayton Woofer tester 3 (WT3).
2. Wallin jig.
I'm having problem setting my mind on one solution because both seem to have their set of problems.
1. Dayton Woofer Tester 3 :
- Will certainly cost me over 150 $ buck to get it home (Qc, Canada). Half of the price goes for the shipping
- I haven't seen alot of thread about it in this forum or elsewhere and that make it hard to tell if it really does the job.
- I've downloaded and tried (without the WT3) application and i must admit that the quality of this program is not impressive at all... (i'm an IT guy). I'm sure that it does what it's suppose to do but ... Anyway.
2. Wallin jig.
- You have to build it yourself and use Speaker Workshop. Building it won't be a problem as I've a friend who will do it for me. Using speaker Workshop isn't a problem either for me as it's seem to work well for others and i'm not afrai to learn.
- Calibration : This is the part that keep me from going with that option. If the calibration is wrong, everything is going to be wrong...? I've also read that the calibration really is dependent on your sound card making it impossible to use with someone else computer. Also, i don't have access to advanced calibration tools.
Finally, i eventually would like to be able to do (one day) FR measurement and i don't want to buy stuff twice. So if one solution is re-usable for my a future gear it would be a must.
Thanks in advance
