Mic Position and Room Analysis
Improper mic placement when analyzing a sound
system can result in the system appearing to
have problems that don’t actually exist. Below
is a quick reference for proper mic placement.
Primary Mic Position
This is the main reference point for a speaker and
can be used as a single, “representative” position.
Your goal in setting the primary mic position
is to find a point that puts the microphone in
the center (on axis) of a speaker’s throw, within
the listening area. In other words, you want to
put the microphone smack dab in the middle
of where your speaker sounds its best.
Secondary Mic Position
Secondary mic positions provide your system
analysis with more information to get a more
“three-dimensional” view of your system.
These can be on- or off-axis measurements
of a speaker within the listening area. Avoid
using locations outside the core coverage
area of your system, or on the edges.
With any mic position, avoid creating
position-dependent anomalies.

Ground Bounce
Ground reflections, or “ground bounce,” become an
issue when a speaker is flown and angled down.
The proper mic position, in this case, will also
catch the reflection of the signal off the floor.
Reflection
arrives
~4ms late...
In this case, you can choose from three options:
• Block the reflection with a baffle.
• Do a ground-plane measurement.
• Do a multi-point measurement to
randomize the effect of the floor bounce.
