Specifications are never measurments.

** Rubbish.

How CAN one argue with logic such as that?


** You posted no proof of an wild claim.

I should have said **BULL****** !!!


Instead, specifications are chosen
values of parameters that, when measured, are promised to be no worse
than
the values specified.

** Shame about all those "min", "typical" and "max" figures in data
sheets then.

Perhaps you
would be so kind as to supply a link to a spec of a pro audio product that
includes min, typical, and max parameter values.


** You said: " Specifications are never measurments."



** Most equipment specs represent typical figures found by measurement
on
samples - unless otherwise specified.

If this is true, then about half of the delivered units are going to
perform worse than those figures.


** But only by trivial amounts.


Would you find it acceptible to
discover that you had purchased a unit that measured worse than its
published specs?



** Yep - when the specs are all **way above* what is needed to do the job.

But this has nothing to do with what maker's specs tell you.
