•In order to correctly set the output levels, use a hand-held Sound Pressure Level meter (SPL), set to C-Weighting and Slow aver- aging. A Radio Shack® SPL meter (catalogue number 330- 2055) or equivalent can be used. Using the internal channel noise generators, set each channel so that you read 75 dB SPL from each channel.
