AnalOg Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 What is the correct setting for weight & response? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawk92 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 On the HT side of things, I use slow response and C weighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben. Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Depends on what you're trying to accomplish. The weighting on one setting will cut the bass, and flat on the other. Obviously an issue if you're trying to dial your sub in. I use fast response for music peaks. Slow is easier if you are testing with noise or are looking for RMS or average levels.

marksdad Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 slow and c is always recomended, by audio manufacturers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Warren Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Here are the correction values you should be using with the meter. The values are to be added to the meters reading at the test frequency being rated. (note-some test CDs have already compensated for these corrections at the line level). 10hz........+20db 12.5hz.....+16.5db 16hz........+11.5db 20hz........+7.5db 25hz........+5db 31.5hz.....+3db 40hz........+2.5db 50hz........+1.5db 63hz........+1.5db 80hz........+1.5db 100hz......+2db 125hz......+.5db 160hz......-.5db 200hz......-.5db 250hz......+.5db 315hz......-.5db 400hz......0db 500hz......-.5db 630hz......0db 800hz......0db 1k...........0db 1.25k......0db 1.6k........-.5db 2k...........-1.5db 2.5k........-1.5db 3.15k......-1.5db 4k...........-2db 5k...........-2db 6.3k........-2db 8k...........-2db 10k.........-1db 12.5k......+.5db 16k.........0db 20k.........+1db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 The calibration correction values for the Rat Shack meter -- thanks for posting this in a format that's much easier to read than the one I use from the Asylum. Of course, I think Tom is just trying to find out where the threshold of pain is with his Scalas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnalOg Posted July 17, 2003 Author Share Posted July 17, 2003 I just wonder if when we talk about db's are we all using the same settings. The different settings can give you 10 db differnce, thats alot, its a apples to apples sort of thing. I think in the future for reference purposes when db's are mentioned also give the settings.

NOSValves Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Tom, When I fire mine up I leave the weighting at default and turn the sample rate to slow. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnalOg Posted July 17, 2003 Author Share Posted July 17, 2003 The default is C, I believe. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I pretty sure your right I'm just to lazy to go down and check right now. I believe the manual say's for checking over all music response you use C weighting. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 C weighting is correct. 'A' weighting is for jackhammers and such. For Scalas, you have to use the 'A' weighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it *useful* now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
