After having finalised EQ, you may want to adjust level to a known value : use the pink noise at the end of the wav files, which is in conformity to SMPTE2095 with rms value at -18.5dBFS. Adjust one channel at the target SPL slow with a sonometer in dB(C) and slow reading, and fine tune other channels by ear to same perceived levels. By ear you can adjust at nearly 0.2, while with a sonometer, it is difficult to be better than 0.4dB.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class='ewd-ufaq-permalink'>\n\t\n\t<a href='https:\/\/www.loudspeakers.audio\/en\/faqs\/spl-levels\/single-faq\/spl-levels\/'>\n\t\t\n\t\tPermalink\t\t\t\n\t<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class='ewd-ufaq-faq-custom-fields'>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>B SPL levels When you adjust the sound level so that the voice is nearly same as a speaking women in your room, the level of sweeps is between 75 to 80dB SPL(C), pink noise on one channel is also about 75 to 80dB(C).
