Thanks for the response Kingkorg
This brings back many memories.
I was a Beta tester for the early B&K TSR machines. I came up with Angelo Farina's method independently circa 1990. I wanted to measure speakers for response & THD in the theoretically shortest possible time. At that time, the computing power, and in particular, the A/Ds were too $$$ for what I wanted which was loadsa sets of Factory Test Eqpt. .. so it was all theoretical.
I think Angelo was shocked when he visited this beach bum in Cooktown and I showed him code that replicated his stuff.
I've used all the methods that Steve Temme describes in his video.
I did capsule & microphone design for Calrec but I've never designed a dual-diaphragm capsule for real. I see some of the problems you mention in the LDCs I've tested this Millenium. I'm tempted to see if they can be simply corrected by modifying eg a Chinese K67 capsule.
What size room are you doing your measurements? What's the floor-ceiling height?
BTW, I think yours are the best amatuer mike measurements I've seen on the internet this Millenium though I still have reservations
Do you have the CM4 calibration handy? I would really like to look at it.I use Line Audio CM4 for cardioid reference. ... I used both of these to make calibration file for CM4. It needs just a tiny bit of correction, it could really be used with no calibration, but i did my best to make measurements as precise as possible.
But that's just my personal trip. I use omni capsules for omni, and ribbons for F8.

Alas, this is exactly what I'm trying to get a handle on.Sadly i can't do CK12 F8, as all the mic bodies i use it with are cardioid only. I have this weird trip and don't care about using LDCs in F8 and omni. I feel no matter what i do and what capsule it is i get weird responses, and feel like diaphragms fight each other.
