getting metered for first time, anything to know?


Recommended Posts

Myself,

I have tones selective. The Tl is fast. But, me, I do selective tones and not a running sweep.

I also have a file of 0db tones that roll up. Play a tone, and it auto volumes from min to max.

Again, I run tones at 0db, and my music overlapped at -7.5, so, my clean volume on the HU is different between the two.

Just go get your first run under your belt, ask questions. Above all, have fun, and learn.

I'm uber new at all this also. I was lucky to have a knowledgable dude with me.

Don't think anybody here mentioned it, but to find your peak frequency without straining everything you can play the different frequencies at a lower volume (all of them at the same volume though) and see which ones loudest. Then turn it all the way up to where you have your deck and gains set and go from there. That way you don't drain your batteries or heat your amp up/etc.

Grats chance! I'm hoping Monday I'll be able to my numbers. Having people already metered listen to it, there thinking I'm a high 40's to low 50's. but TL will tell all

I would advise not doing this. I peak differently at higher volumes.

Based on what you told me just now I highly doubt the meter you used was anything like a termlab. What did it look like?
