Re: Do you interpret "required SPL" on riders as A or C weighting?



But the same system will read louder on C than on A.  So if you measure it on A, then you will need more of the same system to be just as loud as C.


Or another way-if two systems produce 110dB, the one with the A weighting will be louder-assuming the "normal" bass haystack.


Of course A weighting is not intended for use above about 80dBA-so the higher A numbers are not exactly "meaningless" but they don't mean what they are "supposed to".
