You could use it for acoustics measurements, but it’s not a good choice for frequency response measurements.

Hi
A cardioid pattern dynamic mic such as yours would likely start tapering off by about 12khz and about 80hz on the bottom end. You need an RTA mic which is approximately flat from 20hz to 20khz. I have used a Rode Nt1 condenser mic with REW which is considerably more extended than a dynamic mic and was able to accurately measure at least between 50hz and 18khz.
You will get a more linear response from an RTA mic however and the feature of an ominidirectional pattern for broad off axis measurement.
