Re: Monitor out noise
Hi Per,
I think you have precisely characterized the noise on the monitor outputs, and have demonstrated that it is there even if you are not hearing it.
Two things are surprising to me:
1) You are measuring a 30 db +/- noise spike, when I thought it was 9db, and a 9db notch audibly removes it (to my hearing);
2) Your noise floor across the board rises at low frequencies rather than at HF. Mine seemed to do the opposite.
And pardon my ignorance, but what does "gain is 84dB, giving about -3dB overall on most measurements except the monitor outs which are actually 3dB lower" mean?
Gain in your measurement system?
-3db overall relative to what?
I'm sure everyone but me knows what it means, but I'd appreciate explanation.
Nice work!
Thanks,
Dan
PS You seem to have significantly improved/cleaned up your measurement system, which should be useful in the future. And do you by any chance have another console available to measure?
