    A few SPL-related questions.

    Quote: Originally Posted by Fitz I'm not sure why you're so against measuring a full sweep of the frequency response? At the moment I feel much more comfortable with wavelengths measured in meters, rather than in millimeters 10 kHz measurements are 1000 times more difficult...

    Quote: Originally Posted by Fitz you can't tell if they're bass heavy or not by measuring a very limited frequency range. 10 Hz to 1000 Hz is NOT a very limited range as far as the bass in concerned. Actually, it's more than we need to judge the presence or absence of...

    A sweep of DT770 Pro shows FLAT BASS RESPONSE - what's wrong?

    DT770-2006 response on HeadRoom site is fundamentally different from my sweep: They got a much more spectacular response with 8 dB notch on 45 Hz, where the wavelength is over 7 meters. Well, I couldn't imagine a way for such a simple oscillatory system to have a response as complex...
