1
Full bandwidth pink noise is applied to the 502C Systems Controller and amplified to a level at the speaker terminals corresponding to the long-term rated power handling of the
speaker. The average sound pressure level (dB-SPL) is measured at 1 meter from the speaker in an anechoic environment. The peak maximum acoustic output is the peak SPL
possible with the maximum recommended amplifier power using musical program material.
2
Full bandwidth pink noise is applied to the 502C Systems Controller and amplified to a level at the speaker terminals corresponding to one Watt as referenced to the nominal
impedance. The average sound pressure level (dB-SPL) is measured at 1 meter from the speaker in an anechoic environment.
3
Full bandwidth noise, meeting the International Electrotechnical Commission standard #268-5, is applied to the 502C Systems Controller and amplified to a voltage at the speaker
terminals corresponding to the power handling of the speaker. The speaker must show no visible or measurable loss of performance after 100 hours of continuous testing.
