[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 24365, member: 30"] Re: Why Do TEF Systems read 3-5 dB high ? My opinion is that the measurements and spec sheet numbers should try to convey some useful information about the performance of a product in a way it is intended to be used to the customer. Not just a "bragging" sheet with numbers on it. For example: While the Danlehy SH100 is a full rnage product-designed to be flown on put on a stand-it is measured in free space. However the current Danley monitors (while using the same horn/driver/crossover) are measured in half space. The idea being that in most cases a floor wedge would be used-well- on the floor. I just realized that the website is in error regarding the whole/half space issue regarding the measurement of those wedges. I will get the IT guy to change it. You are correct in the same idea regarding subs. In most cases, the subs will be on the floor. Now maybe those intended to be flown at the top of a line array would be a different argument. But then again-if they are flow high (like up against the ceiling where the boundary would affect it), then the half space measurement would apply. [/QUOTE]
