Dear all,

I am seeking advice regarding the use of speakers in the near field
i.e.  about 1-3 mm from an animal's (rat) ear canal and was wondering
what the best type of speaker would be for this situation.  Ideally,
the speaker should produce levels of around 80-90dB SPL across a
frequency range that goes up to about 45 kHz and should have a
diameter of around 2 inches.  I'd be really grateful for any
recommendations/manufacturers names.  I'd also be grateful for advice
on the best way to calibrate such speakers using TDT system 2.

Many Thanks,
Richard Rutkowski.
