Hi Chaps,
Somethings been nagging me for a while now.
A lot of people here use the sinewave/ radioshack spl meter spreadsheet thing to calibrate/eq their subs.
When the xl spreadsheet corrects the spl meter, does it correct it so it measures the actual spl, or does it include a 3Db/octave slope to replicate a pink noise slope?
ie: if you eq'd your sub flat using the spreadsheet, would you end up with a 'flat' response that with pink noise would measure 6Db lower at 20Hz than it would at 80Hz ?
Nobody here seems to address this. I've always used pink noise to calibrate stuff with, and feel that if I used the sine wave method I'd end up with a weak bottom end.
I guess some people would call the difference between the responses a 'house curve' ?
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Rob
