THE R.A.B.O.S. SOUND-LEVEL METER (RSLM) The RSLM is a battery-operated, handheld, acoustic measurement device specifically designed for Infinity R.A.B.O.S. On the face of the instrument is a light-emitting diode (LED) bar graph that indicates relative sound level.There are also indicators for power-on, out-of-range signals and a low battery.

RSLM to give a stable reading. To get accurate measurements, it is necessary to play the TSS-SUB4000 quite loud.The 0dB indication is about 94dB. At this level, frequencies below 100Hz can cause doors, win- dows, furnishings and other objects in the room to vibrate.This...

Page 12: What Does A Parametric Equalizer Do
Level: This refers to the amount of cut (in dBs) the equalizer is set for. Bandwidth: Defines the range of frequencies over which the equalizer will have an effect. On the TSS-SUB4000, this adjustment is abbreviated as “Width.” Only parametric equalizers allow independent adjustment of all three parameters.
