Mic very close to speaker, yes?


Yes, the usual - about 9 inches, but not the usual mics.


And not directly in line with the
tweeter.


Correct - about in line with the bass units. (It was the *slam* I was
after!)

This means that what you recorded will probably sound quite unrepresentive
of what the sound is like out in the room.


That's *on paper* - anybody/everybody knows you get much better *phat*
slam in the real world from vinyl!! (This is about *sound* - not
*signal*; you can forget the figures when it comes to hosing the actual
noise about..!! :-)

You can certainly ignore the figures, or be ignorant of them, or have no
idea how to interpret what they mean... I don't think that "everybody"
falls into that category, though, although it may be true of many... :-)

Slainte,
