B.3 Performance Specification
The following pages contain audio performance specification figures for the
B.3.1 Measurement Conditions
For each set of figures on the following pages, the specific unit and test setup will be stated at the beginning of that section. Any changes to the specified setup for any particular figure(s) will be detailed beside the figures to which that difference applies.
B.3.2 Measurement References
Unless otherwise specified the references used in this specification are as follows:
• | Reference frequency: | 1kHz |
• | Reference level: | 0dBu, where 0dBu ≈0.775V into any load |
• Source impedance of Test Set: | 50Ω | |
• Input impedance of Test Set: | 100kΩ |
•All unweighted measurements are specified as 22Hz to 22kHz band limited RMS and are expressed in units of dBu
•All distortion measurements are specified with a 36dB/Octave low pass filter at 80kHz and are expressed as a percentage
•The onset of clipping (for headroom measurements) should be taken as 1% THD
•Unless otherwise quoted all figures have a tolerance of ±0.5dB or 5%
•All measurements are made with the operating level switch set for +4dBu
B.3.3 Performance
Signal applied to Input and measured at Output. EQ switched In. All EQ controls set centre as appropriate.
THD + N | < 0.005% at +20dBu 1kHz |
| < 0.007% at +20dBu 10kHz |
Frequency Response | ±0.5dB from 20Hz to 20kHz |
| |
Output Headroom | > +26dBu at onset of clipping |
Noise | < |
| < |
B.3.4 Curves
Each channel contains a four band equaliser that can be switched between two different sets of curves, one based on the latest version of the classic SSL E Series EQ and the other based on SSL’s G Series EQ. High and low pass filters are also available.
HF Band controls: |
|
Frequency | Variable from 1.5kHz to 22kHz |
Gain | Variable between ±20dB |
‘Q’ | 2.5 (on ‘ ’ setting) |
HMF Band controls: |
|
Frequency | Variable from 600Hz to 7kHz |
Gain | Variable by > ±20dB |
‘Q’ | Variable from 0.5 to 2.5 (may also vary with gain) |
