Notes on Measurement Conditions

1.Band-limited pink noise signal, one watt

calculated using E2/Zmin, 3.16-meter measure- ment distance referred to one meter.

2.On-axis, one watt calculated using E2/Zmin, 3.16-meter measurement distance referred to

one meter, low frequencies corrected for anechoic-chamber error.

3.This system rating is patterned after the ANSI/EIA RS-426-A method where the test signal is pink noise with a 6-dB crest factor over the bandwidth of the system, with

power calculated using E2/RE x 1.15, for 8 hours.

4.This measurement made under the same conditions as pressure sensitivity, and takes into account any power-compression effects due to nonlinearities in the system.

5.The distortion at any given frequency may be found by graphically taking the dif- ference between the fundamental and har- monic, and adding the number of decibels which the harmonic has been raised on the graph and apply the formula: percent dis-

tortion = 100 x 10 (-difference in dB/20)

6.The use of Vari Intense® horns is protected by U.S. patent # 5,020,630.
