Infinity TWELVE Owner's Manual page 11

Each of the following tracks produces a low-frequency test
tone.The range of these tests is from 100Hz down to 20Hz.The
frequency of each test is announced before it begins.The first
test is the highest frequency (100Hz); therefore, you will be
marking the template from right to left. Each frequency point is
listed across the bottom of the Measurement Template (this is
called the X-axis). See Figure 6 on the previous page.The
vertical scale on the left side of the template indicates relative
level, in dBs (the Y-axis).The template's vertical scale matches
that of the RSLM bar graph.
Cue Track 4 and Pause II.
From now on, you will want to keep your CD player's
remote control handy.
Press Play › . As Track 4 plays, observe the level indicated on
the RSLM.
EXAMPLE:The test frequency is 100Hz and the level indicated is
–2dB. Find the intersection of 100Hz (X-axis) and –2dB (Y-axis).
Place a dot at that point. See Figure 7.
Figure 7. Locating a test point
It takes a few seconds for the RSLM reading to stabi-
lize, especially at very low frequencies. Don't rush. Give each
test adequate time for the meter to stabilize.
At the bottom of the bar graph is a green "ON"LED.This LED is
illuminated whenever the sound level is below the measuring
range of the RSLM. If this occurs during a test, place a dot at
the intersection of the test frequency and the bottom frame of
the template. See Figure 8.

When finished, press Skip I to advance to the next test.

Repeat the process described above for Tracks 5 through 26.
When you have completed the 23 measurements, you are ready
to analyze the data and make corrective adjustments.The com-
pleted Measurement template will look something like the
example in Figure 9.

Now connect the dots as shown in Figure 10.
This will make interpretation of the data much easier.
