It is a limitation of the meter's ability to accurately measure those low frequencies. Typically, the meter is not able to read those low frequencies as well. Your readings will most likely be less than the actual SPL by as much as 6db to 10db.

The difference was astonishing, my good old system had regained the depth of sensation it had in the previous room. While I am on the subject, I have a related question: When I use the SPL to calibrate the speaker level, the sub is the only one that gives untable readings. When I attempt to fine tune it to 85db, it seems to fluctuate unpredictably between 80-87db (regardless of the subs position). Is this a limitation of the meter? Or is it more indicitive of an acoustical problem in my room? TIA, Will |
