Great idea!! My old Rokit monitors are super great but it would have helped to have a consistent volume of that coming out to see the differences more easily 😅
I use Decibel X and Analyzer at every show. They are great tools and help me to not only tune my system to the room but control how loud I’m pushing the system. My philosophy is and has been “Quality over Quantity”. I might recommend using a sign wave or pink noise through your speaker then measure. My thoughts - Cheers
Yo bro, this is how to do it correctly. you need to update this video. Every legit SPL app will have calibration. Meaning you can raise or lower the SPL reading. Standard practice is this; 1. Use an SPL meter calibration device. You slide an SPL meter into it, preferably your best meter. Then you calibrate that meter, say at 94 dBA. 2. Now you play pink noise through a speaker and get a reading on your calibrated SPL meter a foot or so from the speaker, say at 94 dBA. Now you place all your phones or meters that don't fit into the calibration tool at the same spot and calibrate it's SPL readout to 94 dBA. 3. Finally, compare the calibrated SPL meter at high and low volumes with your other meters and note any differences. Regardless of cost, it's all about having a proper reference then calibrating to that.
Hey. Actually the DB app measures the pick values which is why it shows a bit higher compared to the real DB meter. Pick is usually 2-3 db more than tye Max value. So we can conclude that the app is accurate:)
@ also look, seems the song you have played has no bass/deep bass. If you play a song containing deep hard bass the value showing in dbC should be much higher compared to dbA. If you happen to test this on a real db Meter not the app, please kindly let me know if my prediction was correct 😊
Pause the video to compare the meters 😁 Very pleased with the iPhone app… it’s free and one less thing to carry in your bag 😅 Thanks for watching!
great video. it would have been great if you fed pink noise and sine tones through the speaker to see constant signal but all in all very cool.

What's the name of the application you used?
DB Meter 😁

Good to know! Thanks for sharing 😁
