Guessing it's the pink noise bouncing around the aperture of the mic (I'm just using my phone for now, pending a proper one for measurements). Additional dampening solves the problem, but damn it was painful to hear (and looked as bad as you'd expect in measurements!)
For clarification's sake, the whooshing hiss is not something that only shows up in measurements, it's something I actually hear while moving headphones around the coupler.
@Biodegraded That explains a lot. I was managing to get close approximations of Marv and cskippy's stuff using pink noise, so I figured I might have been on to something. Either I'm forgetful as hell or I just missed that, hah!
And yeah, I'm not going full measurebator here, just establishing a baseline to dick around with mods to check my subjective impressions against ;)
Heh - I was really meaning you're supposed to listen to the music rather than the pink noise. But have a look at the 'Measurement setups - post your rig!' thread; some good info on settings in there, eg @philipmorgan has a link to his settings and procedure. Don't fuss it to much until you get a proper mic though, you'll have to change them.
Yup! This was just a quick-n-dirty sorta approach to establish a baseline with front filters and all that jazz. Listening impressions always come first, but I'm not very confident about my ability to identify specific problem areas going off subjectives alone— need a bit more practise there— which is why I randomly felt like assigning some numbers to what I was hearing, shit approximations as they may be :))
