In steps 1 to 3 only data for the HTL (High Threshold Level), LTL (Low Threshold

 

Level), or 3 dB (No Thresh-old) will he displayed or printed. In step 4 data for HTL,

 

LTL, and 3 dB will be printed. Step 5 dumps raw data to the Computer. Step 6 reads or

 

resets the Clock. Step 7 reads or stores the Calibrator level.

Sound Level Meter Keys

SOUND

Sound Level in decibels. Will repeat each second until

LEVEL

another key is pressed. To conserve power, press RUN,

 

PAUSE or any other key to exit sound level when it is

 

not needed.

PEAK

The highest unweighted Peak Level in decibels during

LEVEL

Run Time or an Event. In 30 dB range lowest peak

 

measurable is 78 dB; in 50 dB range the lowest measurable is 98 dB.

MAX

The Maximum Level in decibels after the filter and Slow

LEVEL

or Fast time constant circuit.

Dosimeter Keys

 

L-AVG

The average integrated sound level in decibels for the

LEQ

HTL (High Threshold Level), LTL (Low Threshold Level), or the equivalent level for 3

 

dB. It is the accumulated sound averaged during the Run Time.

DOSE

The accumulated Dose in percent for HTL, LTL, or 3 dB.

TWA

Time Weighted Average in decibels for HTL and LTL.

SEL

It is the accumulated sound averaged over 8 hours. For

 

3 dB it is the Sound Exposure Level of the accumulated

 

sound averaged over 1 second.

Time Keys

 

RUN

The total time the unit was running and accumulating

TIME

data. If the total time is less than 30 minutes, the co-

 

lon will blink if the key is held down and the time shown is in minutes and seconds. If the

 

colon stays on, the time shown is in hours and minutes.

PAUSE

The time the unit was on but not accumulating data.

TIME

The colon blinks as in Run Time

.

 

U.L.

The time exposure was above the Upper Limit. The

TIME

colon blinks as in Run Time.

Event Keys

 

The event feature accumulates Lavg/Leq, Dose, TWA/SEL for 3 dosimeters, Peak Level, Max

Level, Run Time, and Start Time for up to 15 different events. Each time a key is pressed in the Event

mode, the display will show the event number and the data.

EVENT

Enters Events and cycles through the Events with

 

data. The display shows the event number, a "CE" if it is the Current Event or else a "-E"

 

for a previous Event.

 

As an example: 12CE means 12 is the Current Event, 3-E means 3 was a previous Event.

 

Only previous events with data will be displayed.

RUN

Starts accumulating data for the Current Event.

PAUSE

Stops accumulating data and cycles to the next Event.

RESET

 

ON/OFF

Exits the Event mode.

Procedure to Accumulate Event Data

 

To enter the Event mode, press EVENT. To accumulate data, press RUN. To stop, press

PAUSE/RESET. Press RUN and PAUSE/RESET again to accumulate another event. Press ON/OFF to exit

events.

 

The following keys can be used to read data in the current event or in any previous event.

CODE

Cycles through HTL, LTL, and 3 dB. Displays the cur-

HL3

rent time or elapsed time for the current event and

 

the start time for any previous event.

M-27 specifications

AudioQuest M-27 is a standout speaker designed for audiophiles who demand high performance and exquisite sound quality. As part of AudioQuest's commitment to providing unparalleled audio experiences, the M-27 blends advanced technologies with premium materials to deliver exceptional musical clarity and accuracy.

One of the key features of the M-27 is its innovative driver design, which utilizes a new-generation ceramic cone. This cone is engineered to minimize distortion while enhancing transient response. The result is a speaker that offers a clear, detailed sound across a wide frequency range. The drivers are also matched with an advanced neodymium magnet system, ensuring efficient energy transfer and improved bass response.

The M-27 is equipped with a sophisticated crossover network that has been meticulously designed to maintain the integrity of the audio signal. By employing high-quality components, including precision resistors and capacitors, the crossover effectively divides the audio signal into specific frequency bands, allowing each driver to perform at its best. This attention to detail not only enhances sound quality but also helps to create a more cohesive listening experience.

Another notable characteristic of the M-27 is its sturdy and well-constructed cabinet. Built from high-density MDF, the cabinet is engineered to minimize resonance and vibration, which can color sound. Moreover, AudioQuest has incorporated internal bracing to further enhance structural integrity. The elegantly finished exterior not only adds to the speaker's aesthetic appeal but also serves to complement various home decors.

Connectivity is made simple with the M-27, thanks to its standard speaker terminals that accommodate a wide range of wire gauges. This flexibility allows audiophiles to use their preferred cables for optimal performance. Additionally, the speaker is designed to work seamlessly with a variety of amplifier configurations, making it an adaptable choice for different audio setups.

Incorporating these advanced technologies and design principles, the AudioQuest M-27 is not just a speaker; it's a gateway to an immersive listening experience.
