I am trying to learn moreI am trying to learn more about microphone
specs. I am working on getting a better understanding of SPLs. Does
anybody know of a web site or chart that list examples of different
SPLs.?

Example: a snare drum at 6 inches has a SPL of XXX. Or a Trombone has
a average SPL between XXX and XXX. I understand that dynamic range can
very greatly; I am just looking for some generalizations so I can get a
better idea of what mics I can use on what instruments.

Thanks,
Ryan

It is nearly impossible to find good values of sound pressure levels
of musical instruments, like snear drum or trombone, because they
are dynamicly played.
What you find is the loudness of a jack hammer, a siren or a jet plane,
which make a steady and constant noise, often measured without
telling us the distance, what is useless.
