Using Calibrate Mode
Figure 11
The Auditioner
®
Playback
System III LED display
When the Sound Pressure Level that you hear from the Auditioner playback system matches
the level of the original signal that you recorded, you have a "calibrated" signal. When you
play pre-recorded material from an analog source on the Auditioner playback system, you
need to take a series of steps (see below) to ensure that the level you hear is correctly
calibrated.
When the Auditioner playback system is connected to a digitally-transmitted signal, the
calibration is automatic. It is possible for your digital recording to lose calibration if you use
an analog playback device. Although the file itself will not lose calibration (because it is
digital), the audio device that you use (such as a portable CD player) might cause the
calibration to be lost. We recommend that you playback all digital files from the hard drive of
your computer using the USB connection to avoid losing calibration. If you must use an
analog CD player, we recommend that you record the provided calibration tone onto the CD
when you record your audio. The calibration tone can be found on the Bose
®
Modeler
®
Plus
software product CD.
Note:
The calibration display has a push button switch that provides a way to toggle between
Sound Pressure Level and calibration readings. The “up” position is calibrate mode, the
“down” position activates the SPL meter. For information on monitoring the Sound Pressure
Levels,
see
“Monitoring Sound Pressure Levels” on page 12.
Follow these steps to calibrate the Auditioner playback system when using an analog
playback device:
1.
In the Bose
®
Modeler
®
Plus software, record your audio to the hard drive as a .wav file.
2.
Record your .wav file to a normal audio CD. When you record the CD, you should include
the calibration tone file located on the Bose
®
Modeler
®
Plus software product CD. You
should record this calibration tone as the first track on the CD.
