How Loud is my FI Setup?

bkngo · 12-27-2018, 06:51 PM

Finally got an SPL meter to measure how loud my FI resonated CBE with FI resonated TP.

I'll film a cabin video soon.

you're too close. Should be about 10 to 15ft back.

Also what range is being measured? I'm NOT a sound engineer but do know there are different ranges and using one over another can yield different results. Also was the meter set to an averaging mode or instantaneous? Furthermore you measured it inside what looks like a garage. The echo off the walls can also effect the readings.

To be clear, I'm not trying to $hit all over your sound readings. I just want to make sure you and everyone else understands there's more to measuring sound than just a number on the meter.

I do not know about the meter but sounds nice.

^ Nice link. Above poster needs more distance when creating a sound clip.
