L1 Loudness Behind: Difference between revisions

(One intermediate revision by the same user not shown)

Line 9:

If you place the L1 beside you, the sound is very little different from directly in front. This is great for monitoring if you are on a shallow stage.

Behind the L1 system, the sound will sound muffled because the mid-high frequencies are more directional than the lows. In testing (below) the difference was about 3 dB SPL (Sound Pressure Level). ~~Note~~: A change of 3 dB is accepted as the smallest difference in level that is easily heard by most listeners listening to speech or music. It is a slight increase or decrease in volume<ref> [https://www.e2s.com/references-and-guidelines/db-decibel-ratings db Decibel Ratings]</ref>.

;Notes

:This 3 dB difference was measurable in a free field (no walls). When there are walls, the difference is less apparent due to room reflections.
