Seat To Seat
This
is a tool intended for the working consultant, acoustician, or contractor. By
invoking Seat‑to‑Seat, the user can “walk” portions of the intended speaker
coverage area (while playing pink noise through the system) and easily record
plus and minus SPL variations to determine the Seat‑to‑Seat SPL variation. This
function adds a very useful and practical tool for those who tune, aim, and
adjust sound systems. Using the Seat‑to‑Seat function, the consultant and
contractor can easily "proof" the sound system high frequency
dispersion as well as simple Seat‑to‑Seat level.

Weighting/filtering
The
Seat‑to‑Seat function allows the application of all of the weighting and
filtering available in the IE‑45's sound level meter, including Flat, A, C, and
octave bands at 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, and 4kHz. Selecting the
appropriate octave filters when making Seat‑to‑Seat measurements allows the
user to make judgments with regard to intelligibility in overlap and other hard‑to‑reach
areas.
Detector Selection
The
Seat‑to‑Seat function also allows selection of all of the SPL meter’s broad
band detectors (Fast, Slow, Peak and Impulse).
Min/Max Data Info
The
Seat‑to‑Seat display presents the information in both graphic and numeric
forms. At any time the user can easily reset the reference level and continue
testing. The vertical graphic bar presents in a very intuitive form not only
the current SPL and whether it is above or below the reference level, but also
the minimum and maximum levels since last reset.
