Go Ahead...Make My Day

The graphing of the frequency response was done as follows: Since the speaker's sensitivity (the dbs the speaker is capable of reproducing at 1 watt measured at 1 meter) was not included in any documentation, a base line was determined using pink noise. Once the pink noise was measured at 50db, 60db and 70db using a sound meter at 1 meter from the sound source, a series of test tones were played and the dbs charted using the same sound meter in the same position it was at when testing the pink noise. The sound meter was positioned on a tripod so it would not pick up sounds as the bounced off of the floor.

The test environment was far from sterile. But then again, who has their computer in a sterile room? So before anyone asks, there was no acoustic materials on the walls, ceiling and floors and the PC was in the room whirring away with a Coolermaster fan on it. Ambient noise levels were well under 30 db where the sound meter was positioned prior to testing.
