Manuel Delaflor Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 The apartment under me is for rent, and I wanted to know how much sound its transmited from my equipment before the new neighbor arrives. So I just cranked my system to the max using a heavy song by Limp Bizkit and I found that the building (an old very solid construction) is very well isolated. Anyway, I picked up my RS SPL meter and found that the continue SPL was between 104-106dB at my listening position (about 5 meters from each speaker). There were no audible distortion nor clipping at all (just an "out of headroom" or compression sensation). This amount may sound like not to much, but it is well above my listening tastes, and it was fun to see what my system can do at its limits.

Manuel Delaflor Posted February 1, 2002 Author Share Posted February 1, 2002 Justin, the sound of the street with the window open is louder than the total power of my system ;-) And no, this is not a noisy neighborhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobile homeless Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 The extra "g" was for extra loud. Excuse the typo. Ole Ted did hold the worlds loudest rock concert record for a while... I saw him in Greensboro, NC years ago while under heavy sedation and with a free pass. The coon tail is burned in my retinas. kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike stehr Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 I'm pretty sure I seen Ted Nugent once. Hell, I can't even remember. (I kinda remember someone flinging around on a rope in a loincloth, and that infamous thing he did with the D string on his Byrdland.) It was that way with a lot of bands, Is was that damn Sedation problem, ya know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
