I can just say that as the sweep was going on at 94 dBSPL, it was barely audible. The pads are ultra soft and mold well against the fixture. You can even slide them forward and back and they hold their shape and hence seal.Would it be possible to place the cans on the measuring unit and play music at about 80-90db and detail how much sound leaks, when you stand back a few steps?
So... What is Dan Clark about as a company? Is it a boutique business or large corporation?
It's an easy calculation cuz these are orthos, having flat impedance vs. frequency, 23 ohm.I'm trying to calculate a rough sensitivity in db/mw for these, would anyone mind helping me out? When I try i get roughly 82 db/mw but when I do the same for 1266 (using 1030 mV @ 94 dB SPL) I am off of the actual figure by quite a bit. Wouod anyone mind pointing out what I'm missing?
Fwiw, im just plugging sensitivities into a calculator using 94dB desired SLP and 23 ohm (for the stealth). I figure I'm just missing some piece of info here as to why this won't work, so help would be awesome if yall don't mind
I checked the Dan Clark website and there are accolades galore for various models of headphones. I heard of Dan Clark but never investigated the stuff till now.It is rare in audio for a very expensive component to actually be the very best in its category.
Congrats, Dan Clark!

The short answer: 13.1 mW for 94 dB SPL
The long answer:
If 549 mV makes 94 dB, and R = 23, and V=IR, then i must be about 0.0239 A.
P = i^2*R = .0131 which is 13.1 mW
OR
P = iV = .0239*.549 = 13.1 mW, the same thing.
PS: I see you asked for db/mW. If 13.1 mW makes 94 dB, then what does 1 mW make?
10 * log(.001/.0131) = -11.1 dB
94 - 11.1 = 82.9 dB.
Your first figure is about right.
You see, if the Harman target had less bass, I could not enjoy my hip-hop and rap library. I tried with both diffuse field and the estimated in-room response, and it just is bright and lacks bass.that much bass has to be annoying after 30 minutes, the only part i cant stand about the harman target
I agree. The Harman curve is too much bass for me. And a bit too much treble too. It's a population weighted average, with a lot of individual variation. We all hear differently.that much bass has to be annoying after 30 minutes, the only part i cant stand about the harman target
