Speakers for savage

[RayDunzl]

Does it have two sides, like an LP?

That looks like the "B" side.

Looking up FJ:2630865 gives some wonderful information on Herpes Simplex Virus, but nothing pertinent to this investigation.

PS: My volume knob is like almost inaudible at 11.

It goes to 151.

I can get you a pair to these and their matching subs, you will not break them I guarantee.

With the fan in back, that looks like a PA speaker.

Oh, wait, it pretty much is...

A very nice looking PA speaker, though.

Obviously there was no information on the front.. It's was also 0620 and I was going out the door to work but thought I'd do my best to get some info on the device for you...

Iv posted some videos on this thread taken at my normal listening volume..

I'm sure you can scrutinise them .

Oh iv never come across a clock with 151 o'clock on it

Well, based upon my limited knowledge/experience of SPL meters:

The generic ones typically have Slow and Fast integration (averaging) buttons and maybe a MAX button to hold the highest calculated Slow and Fast A or C weighted readings.

Peak doesn't show up until you get to more specialized or highly featured devices, typically in a much more expensive price range..

I could be wrong, just curious which type you have, and whether your estimation of Peak SPL in your room using your meter is accurate or not.

My CheezMeter - $30 or so:

http://wensn.com/html_products/WS1361-17.html

It doesn't read Peak, but does match pretty closely the C and A Slow and Fast readings I see using the measurement mic and the REW SPL meter on the PC, which does include an unweighted unaveraged instantaneous Peak reading.

 

[Thomas savage]

It varies as the sound is read, then you press a button to see the max level ( I assumed that was peak) .

It seems accurate as iv used it to record my generator and it matched the noise level in the manual.

If it's incorrect by a factor of 20 db its functionality useless and not as advertised in terms of its specification.

Check the levels in my videos , it would be trivial for me to check those results against my in room values via the db meter..

I just bought it Ray, to read db levels in my listening room. I have not studied them , I never thought I would need to.. Seemed to be self explanatory

 

[RayDunzl]

Thank you.

Looks generic to me. It's not reading Peak, so it's a guess - add 10-15-20dB - to your musical readings for Peak SPL

Jackson, Invincible, C-weighted Fast Maximum and Minimum readings, and unweighted Peak (all the small numbers on the left)

Yes, that's why I took a picture of the back this morning.. It had actual information on that side pertaining to the spec.. And sexually transmitted diseases..

Should I buy a better one?

Have you tried one of the smartphone apps?

They're not bad using built-in smart phone mics. They're even better with one.

Will that do peak readings? Iv found a c weighted db meter but that has no peak reading on it either..

 

[RayDunzl]

I bought a USB measurement mic and retired the SPL meter preferring to see much more of what is really going on using the PC/Laptop and REW (free)..

The intended use of SPL meters is more "noise measurement" - than detailed audio measurements.

The Smartphone app could be sufficient for casual use. Compare your SPL reading with the App reading to see how well they match using the same measurement criteria (Slow/Fast A/C) and go from there.

Looking: I don't see an App with Peak either...

Ok, iv got a measurment mic but no lap top to plug it into lol

The app has a peak reading, I will try it.

Cheers

Just to prove numbers mean very little, the Perreaux 2150B that kicked off my audio journey 30 years ago is rated at 164V peak to peak - so, it's at the FPB 450Mc level by the above table. So, why wasn't I happy with it? Firstly, it was limited in current drive, the MOSFETs could only handle relatively average constant current levels; and, the power supply was nowhere near the quality, say, of the Krell's.

What's that got to do with 'speakers for savage' or me obtaining accurate in room SPL / db readings?

 

[RayDunzl]

The app has a peak reading, I will try it.

Be sure to calibrate the App using a tone or noise to match the SPL Meter using the same criteria (slow/fast a/c), so you can make sense of whatever additional information it provides.

Ok, il leave it , to complicated. Just wanted to take a reading but obviously it's endlessly more complicated and involved .

Play music , take reading from iPad ... I thought it was that simple

Well just see if they match up or not.

Have fun.

I can't as I have no way of generating a known value ..
