Calibrated the test system but before I do anything is in room testing a good idea.Keep in mind I'm just getting started and I,m not completely a pro at using it but that will improve over time.I,m going to start frequency response in room one channel to start.regards Tim

In room testing measures the room, anechoic (chamber or outdoors) measures the equipment. If you're interested in a baseline test for equipment comparisons, anechoic is all that makes sense. But if you're interested in setting up your equipment in a specific room, you'll probably want to tailor for that room, and so you'll measure in that room. You'll get diffrent measurements at different places inside the room, so you'll find some good spots and some bad. Depending on how important coverage is to you, you might try to setup for good response over a large area, or you might just set it for best sound in a specific listening spot.

Hi,

If you are measuring frequency using the MLS then you can measure it in room.

If you're concerned with response above the gated frequency, then pseudo-anechoic via gating will suffice. But below the gated frequency, you're getting reflections and room resonances just like with an ungated measurement.
