I decided to measure my speakers today, Pi 4 mains with Pi 3 subs. I used a Pyle Pro PDMIC58 (Shure SM58 clone) that I have laying around the house for drunken karaoke nights, so I knew going in that these measurements may not be accurate.
They ended up having a slope to them that I haven't seen on other Pi speaker measurements.
After doing a little reading, I found this chart for the SM58 (bottom) that looks quite familiar...
So as someone who does not measure speakers very often (I'm actually only measuring them now because I plan to rebuild my cabinets in the next couple of months and would like before/after measurements) I'd like to know what microphone(s) I should be looking at. I've seen several units that claim to be measurement microphones starting around $40 online. Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
