I am building electromagnetic transducers for audio frequencies. The design is similar to a geophone, so basically a magnetic mass suspended inside a coil.
How should I measure the response? I want to see what happens when I change parameters like the mass of the magnet, the coil, the suspension, ect.
The transducer is pretty light, about 5 grams and is a cylinder of 13 mm diameter and 13mm tall.
I though of using some double tape to attach it to the cone of a speaker and sweep the whole range of audio sine waves and measuring the output with a software like spectraplus or such. Can you think of a better setup? How do I calibrate? I got some full range speakers with flat pistons thinking they would be better but I am not sure.
Thank you for your attention.
