What we know about the measurement:

LD Systems DDQ12+Sub is an active liveportable that cost around 3000 USD each.

  • Quality of the measurement data is medium.
  • Origin of the data is LD Systems.
  • Format of the data is a GLL file .
  • -3dB (resp. -6db) point v.s. reference is at 38.7Hz (resp. 36.5Hz).
  • Reference level is normalised to -0.1dB computed over the frequency range [300.0Hz, 5000.0Hz].
  • Frequency deviation is 3.8dB over the same frequency range.
  • Directivity
    • Horizontal directivity is (-40.0°, 40.0°) between 1kHz and 10kHz. Angle computed for +/-6dB.
    • Vertical directivity is (-10.0°, 20.0°) between 1kHz and 10kHz. Angle computed for +/-6dB.
  • Tonality (Preference) Score
    • Tonality (Preference) Score is 4.84 and would be 6.52 with a perfect subwoofer.
      • Details: NBD: ON 0.644, LW 0.52, SP 0.524, PIR 0.478; SM: SP0.871, PIR0.806; LFQ 1.426, LFX 35Hz
    • Tonality (Preference) Score is 6.02 with an EQ and would be 7.42 with a perfect subwoofer and the same EQ.
      • Details: NBD: ON 0.503, LW 0.404, SP 0.491, PIR 0.384; SM: SP0.943, PIR0.924; LFQ 1.241, LFX 30Hz
  • Note: measured with broadband noise at 2m. DUT is a DDQ12 with a DDQ Sub 212. It is unclear to me if the measurements are correct.
