Re: Question on volume/decibel levels

ok last night i did some measures with a more or less generic db meter with a dbA setting

DSL100 settings: Green channel gain 10, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treb 6, Pres 6, no tone shift, no deep, guitar LP studio, A Chord, 4x12 celestion G12H30 (anniversary)/V30, meter at more or less 1 meter away from the cab

vol. Just above 0 but i could not hear my picking - 86 db
Vol. 0.5 - 92 dbA
Vol 1 - 92.4 dbA
Vol 1.5 - 92.7 dbA

Sony Tv 24" dimed on a National Geo program at my regular listening position 82.4 dbA

Mi younger one screams at 92 dbA when fighting his older brother

I have to take another sample just to make sure since i just found out someadjustment i did not do on the meter, but anyway, anything from 1 on my volume was louder than my TV and iŽll try to find out what to do, i have tomorrow off from the offcie so i hope to get some better readings
