What are your SPLs like in the control room? |

What are your SPLs like in the control room? well my rig is mobile, so when i come home i sit in my mix position with my radio shack SPL meter and play a 1khz tone through the speakers, and adjust the trim controls so i read 80dbA SPL (about 4' from each speaker). I never measured the spl while mixing, but i take frequent 5 minute breaks (about every 1/2 hour) and i mix at a variety of volumes. i would say most of thetime it's at a "moderate" volume...I can mix with someone next to me and have a comfortable conversation with them. |

You really should do it with noise or music if you want to get a consistent monitor volume. Or just set it so you like it, and mark the position of the volume control. When using a single frequency to measure SPL, you'll find that the reading changes substantially with fairly small changes in position due to room reflections. Noise or music will average out and you'll get a valid reading even if you're off by a few inches. yeah mike, i agree with you. the problem is that the ****ty radio shack meter does much better with a tone than noise. what I usually do is do the 1khz tone, then i just play 1 octave tones and make sure they read about the same and i'm happy. I do have the settings marked, but i always check it with the meter because...well, it's the right thing to do. pots have been known to turn in their housings, especially when driving 350 miles in the trunk of a jeep. |
