Focal Clear - Pad Rolling Results
Here are the frequency response plots for the Focal Clear equipped with their stock pads, as well as those of the Elex, Elear, Elegia, Stellia and Utopia:
The first set, above, is calibrated for 84dB @ 300Hz, raw plots, with mic-calibration only (no headphone compensation). The same plot, but vertically spaced, looks like this:
Finally, the same model but calibrated for 84dB @ 1kHz - again raw plots, with mic-calibration only (no headphone compensation).
Plots with experimental headphone compensation will follow once I’ve done all of the headphones this way.
Measurements performed on a miniDSP EARS with microphone calibration only - i.e. no headphone compensation in an isolating acoustic chamber. These results are only directly comparable with other measurements performed on the same rig. The miniDSP EARS exhibits a strong resonant peak around 4.5kHz, which you should take into account with these raw plots. Plots are an average of 4 passes for each of 5 different placements of the headphones on the measurement stand.
