Design Principles For Distributed Sound Systems: SPL & Equalization

Pro Sound Web: We need to consider the real, long-term sound pressure level capability of today’s sound reinforcement systems to make sure they’re not being operated at levels where the components are stressed or where they won’t sound good.
While acoustic design programs do a good job of predicting how the system will perform in a given room, the system designer must determine what the goal is for each application.
