I'm assuming you've done a proper soundcard calibration and created the file and did a cable loopback test and got a perfect flat response with it before you began
|
Yes. I went through all the setup steps as carefully as I could. Here is the cal and the response from the loopback test:

I left the sample rate at 48kHz.

It would be easy enough if you had another model speaker to test outside.

I do in fact still have my old monitors. They're not as good quality but they do go from 78Hz up to 20kHz so I will definitely test one of them outside to get a comparison.
Here is the properly scaled graph for the original measurment I took in the studio using the RS meter. I know it's not reliable in the upper frequencies but it does show a smoother response between 3 and 8kHz despite that 'typical rise' at 5.

Could this indicate that the problem is more likely to do with the mic than the speaker? Rode did some subtle enhancing to the upper frequencies when designing this mic but the cal file I created should compensate for that I'd imagine. If the mic is causing this problem, maybe it's time to invest in an ECM8000? If I do, can I use it with my own pre-amp (it's a Metric Halo ULN-2, very high quality)?

the wonkiness can't likely be attributed to a crossover.

The crossover frequency of my Dynaudios is stated as 1500Hz with a crossover slope of 6 dB/oct.
I'll measure that other speaker next.
Thanks,
