What the figures mean at distance

Taking 132 dB at 1 m on axis and the free-field rule of 6 dB lost per doubling of distance, this is the most the speaker can reach at each distance. A real room adds reflections, and a speaker is not normally run at its maximum.

DistanceLevel on axis
2 m126.0 dB
5 m118.0 dB
10 m112.0 dB
15 m108.5 dB
20 m106.0 dB

See level and distance and coverage angles for how these are worked out.

Planning estimate only. The calculation ignores reverberation, reflections and room modes. See terms and disclaimer.
