ROFL ...see ya there!

I'll be there!

Good Luck to all!

Any SMD members coming to this event? I promise no snow

but what if the termlab bar graph moves during the run?

why not try this divide the SPL ( of music being played ) by the peak "note" or frequency to get a score example a 145dB ( with music ) with a peak frequency of 50hz would be a score of 2.9 while a 140dB ( with music ) with a peak frequency of 30hz would be a score of 4.66 ( more impressive ) I have a chart for all this as a format I was looking into awhile back Basically, the louder the lower frequency's played is, the higher the score. We all know its harder to produce SPL with lower frequency's Example: which is more impressive? 180dB@80hz ( score of 2.25 ) or a 140dB@30hz ( score of 4.66 ). IMO, the 140dB one is.

got something in Joplin around Feb, thats it as of now we did about 50 shows last summer in the area, there will be plenty soon enough just keep checkin out the schedule and the forums for updates

Yup, no longer any db drags in the area however, retailers are really loving our new format. everything can be checked out at www.midwestspl.com expect about 50+ events in the region this summer
