    All measurements are performed on an IEC 60318-4 (formerly 60711) compliant setup.

    IMG_4956.JPG

    Frequency response settings:
    • Sine-sweep
    • Sequence length: 32k
    • Sampling rate: 48,000Hz
    • Output volume: generated to -10dB
    • Log-frequency sweep
    • 10 sample average
    • -15dB/0dB/+15dB scaling
    CSD settings:
    • dB range: 40
    • Maximum frequency: 20,000Hz
    • FFT length: 1024
    • FFT block shift: 6
    • Maximum number of FFT blocks: 60
    • Apodizing window rise time: 3ms
    • Start point: 2.500ms
    The rest of the settings should be default or self-explanatory.

    DISCLAIMER:
    • Comparisons with measurements from other rigs are not recommended due to scaling, settings and/or minute physical differences affecting response. However, they are meant to follow the 318/711 standard so measurements should be more similar than different.
    • Output impedance can be assumed to be <0.5ohm.
    • This is all a learning process for me, so expect changes along the way. There are probably some things I'm doing wrong and I'll be diligent in seeking them out.

    ‘Staff Member’? Well deserved!

    Will you be revisiting many of the previous IEMs on the new rig? Andromeda might be useful to people, as a point of reference...

    Well less actual 'Staff Member' and more 'guy with pinning privileges in his own subforum' :p

    I'll be trying to measure some more IEMs definitely, but as I'm back in Australia it'll be a lot harder to acquire what I want. Hopefully Jaben would loan me a ER4...

    What's the make of the 711? Not seen that one before. The black ring tells me it's not a GRAS or B&K :D
