The measuring procedure of a venue is slightly different than that of measuring
devices. Measuring venues requires a larger setup, which includes a playback device,
a microphone and a loudspeaker. We can use the same session we were using for the
device recordings, only instead, we connect the output of our playback device to a
speaker, and a microphone should be assigned to the input of our recording device.

:
Connect the output of your source (HD card etc…) directly to or through the mixing
console to the loudspeaker. For the input, connect the microphone cable directly to or
through the microphone pre amp to the recording device.
Output source (HD card etc…)Æ Input of the speaker.
Microphone cable Æ Input of the recording device (HD card etc…).
You can use a microphone of any kind, with any polar patterns. We recommend a
cardiod or omni-directional microphone. After deciding which microphone to use, set up
the microphone with the speaker located in front of the microphones, to achieve the
best results.

ONO S ESSION :
To make a Mono IR, create two different channels. The first channel will be the sine
sweep channel and should be assigned to the loudspeaker. The second channel
should record the microphone signal.

To create a 4 convolution IR, Record your Left speaker with the Left mic (LL) and Right
mic (LR). Then record the Right speaker with the Left mic (RL) and the Right mic (RR).
