Thank you for your response, Jerry.

Based on the methods you provided, I will proceed to experiment with impedance measurement.
?
The experimental setup is as follows:Speaker (Sine wave Signal Source)→ Mic → DI Box (high-precision potentiometer) → Audio AnalyzerThe DI box is equipped with a high-precision potentiometer, which will be connected as a variable resistor
between pins 2 and 3 of the XLR connection from the microphone.
Subsequently, it will be connected to the audio analyzer via an XLR cable.
?
The speaker emits sine wave signals at frequencies such as 100Hz, 200Hz, 400Hz, 1000Hz, 2000Hz, and 10000Hz.Initially, the sound pressure level (SPL) at each frequency is measured without connecting the DI box.
You can't do that, because you don't know the gain (or attenuation) of the DI box.

What value is this potentiometer? Ideally it should be about 500 ohms.

You must do a measurement without a load, then another with the potentiometer attached. These measurements don't need a DI box. In addition, most DI boxes are unbalanced.

Another method is to rent the MR-PRO device from NTi Audio.
According to the NTi Audio website, this device is also used for measuring speaker impedance. (However, I anticipate that renting the device might be somewhat difficult...)

The MR-PRO does not provide phantom power. You would have to add phantom power separately.
OTOH it would give more accurate results than the -6dB method, and allow meaurements at different frequencies.
