I was just wondering if things like temperature and hight above sea level would affect SPL- and if so, how much difference would it make??

thanx,

Since every mic reads differently its hard to tell the difference. For example you are supposed to get a better score at higher sea levels, but i have gotten my best score near seal level (approx)

i just checked team gates forum and they are saying that altitude does effect spl, i think thinner air not as dence, plus the tempurature changes will effect spl also

Sometime way too much is just right

Team Gates Member

temperature can change the tuning of your box a bit and if your subs and amps are hot, then that will reduce your score

most differences in atmospheric pressure shouldn't affect the score significantly, unless you are comparing extremes

but generally since everyone at the comp has the same basic conditions, then its a level playing field

if you are comparing SPLs from various locations, the calibration of the mic will generally affect the scores more
