Appendix E: SPL Calibration

The chart below shows the SPL (Sound Pressure Level) delivered by the speaker when the listening position is 1 meter (3.3 feet), 2 meters (6.6 feet) and 3 meters (roughly 10 feet).

You can create a visual reference for any listening distance using a readily-available Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter and a pink-noise source. Here is the procedure for doing so:

1.Place the SPL meter at the mix position and turn it on.

2.Begin playing the pink noise source back through your LSR4300 speakers.

3.Using the +/- buttons, raise the LSR4300 system volume so that the ﬁrst amber- colored LED (-10 dB) begins to ﬂicker and note the amount registered in the SPL meter.

You now know the approximate SPL the speaker is contributing whenever the ﬁrst amber LED begins to illuminate. Alternately, set the system volume to produce the desired SPL at the mix position and make a visual note of the illuminated meter segment that correlates to the desired SPL. Using LSR4300 Control Center Software, you can store and recall a system volume settting that produces your desired SPL.
