In the electrical test and adjustment procedure, this organ service
manual asks for an "Audio VTVM", to measure Tibia or Bourdon channel levels, to meter readings of +5dB (1.4 VAC) for example, either at one of the speaker voice coils, or at the crossover. Obviously, VTVM stands for vacuum tube volt meter, but can I just use my regular Volt-Ohm-Meter in AC voltage measurement setting, to make these measurements? My meter is NOT a True-RMS meter, so I know if the signal is too far off from an ideal sinusoid, the RMS reading will be off, but I am hoping it will be close enough. And I assume +5dB means +5 Decibels Above the Noise Floor, but I have never used an audio meter that measured in dB. I would guess that with such a meter, you would normalize 0 dB to the noise floor, with no signal? |
