Model 831 Manual 1/1 and 1/3 Octave Filters A-23
1/1 Octave Filter Linearity
The filter linearity range depends upon both the Input Gain, which is set as described in the section "20
dB Gain" on page 4-5, and the Filter Range, which is set as described in the section "OBA Range
Setting" on page 4-7.The data, which were measured using an electrical input, are in dB re. 1 V,
which is equivalent to dBSPL when a 50 mV/Pa microphone is used
