You might find that decoupling makes the difference as if they're coupled the surface they're on will act as a baffle.
I'm sure there's an app but I'm not sure how well your phones mic will deal with the bottom end.
Dogs-
I didn't even think about using my phone. But yeah, can't imagine mics tuned for voice are going to do well with boomy music.
They have same opinion I had about phone mics.

Anyone know anything about Omnitronic mics? They have a calibrated offering like Umik for half the price. MM2-USB

"I've measured several 1/4" electret capsules and I don't believe that specs. They claim it's pressure gradient and omnidirectional... it's a shame."

No. I have a set of isolation pads on order already though.
Since the bookcases went in behind me I've filled them with sleeping bags, tents, bivvys and some books (obvs) and it has either helped or I'm imagining it has helped so that's a plus.
I might have a play with blocking the ports but what I'd really like to do is somehow measure the frequency response over a range and see where the peaks are. Because if you're not testing you're just guessing.
Is there any free shit I could use on my PC that would do frequency sweeps or something to see where the peaks and troughs are? I guess the software would exist - that's probably the easy part but I don't have a mic (I could use headphones but I imagine that's a pretty shit solution). Maybe I could borrow a set off a muso I know. Hmm.
