Re: Do you interpret "required SPL" on riders as A or C weighting?The major difference between A&C weighting is only below 1khz. Instrument and bass tracks will have noticeably different readings, but vocals will be essentially the same. Requiring 'undistorted' sound is a pretty lofty spec. Not sure that's even technically possible. But at least they are trying to quantify what they want from a sound system. Essentially, they are saying make sure it gets loud and doesn't suck. Coming up with specific wording that would work in all venues would be quite challenging to say the least, as every room has its potential issues to deal with.My favorite rider that I've had to fill is for a waterski tournament. I have to pull out all of the stops to make sure my gear can get that quiet....A. Loudspeaker cabinets sufficient to provide clear, intelligible coverage of the entire spectator and judging area. Sound pressure level (SPL) at the judging area should be at least 70 db.
