127. the DSP A compressor Is inserted on the output set to a nominal level for soeaker protection The output level is given a nominal setting from which you can make final adjustments to suit the room Background The equalization curves used for the output building blocks were generated by measuring the sound power response of an array of nine 9 identical soeakers mounted in a large acoustically dead room For testing 400 samples were taken throughout the sound field of the speaker array and averaged together which provided the average sound power response of the nine 9 ceiling speakers This was repeated with the speaker array at 6 feet 8 feet and 12 feet spacings between speakers The results were merged into a single response curve for all three configurations comprised of over 1200 samples total average An array of four 4 Extron FF 120T and FF 220T speakers were used at 12 feet 16 feet and 20 feet spacings since the Flat Field Technology provides more consistent sound levels across the listening area than conventional coverage patterns This total average curve was then inverted and loaded into a real time analyzer RTA Calibrated pink noise was introduced into the Extron DSP and the output of the DSP presented to the RTA The RTA was put into A B subtraction mode with the total average curve being subtracted from the real time pink noise The resulting response on the RTA was an electrical facsimile of the average a
