The event was really for the purpose of gaining hard data. We call it a "Prosound Shootout," but it's really a fact-finding mission. I was impressed with each of the systems tested for one reason or another.

Hi Wayne

If you can, try to normalize the curves so that they represent the 1 Watt 1 Meter equivalent like you did last year.

All measurements taken this year were with a 2v reference. We won't post-process them or normalize them, but you can easily calculate to find offsets normalized to common values like 2.83v or 1w. We've provided a handy decibel/voltage/power conversion chart to make this easier.

To tell the truth, I had hoped to gather datasets at various power levels just like last year. I also wanted distortion measurements. But I didn't perform the measurements this year and actually it was kind of nice not having to "drive".

Next year, we'll be sure to get response curves at higher power levels like we did last year. We'll also get distortion measurements again. We may make it a two day event, if we need the extra time. Hope to see you there.

JBL SRX728S sensitivity in specification are showed in "full-space" conditions!

I don't see any mention of freespace specifically shown on the spec sheet, but I suppose you may be right. I would have expected halfspace, but the chart and other specs may reflect freespace measurements.

All the data we gathered at the Prosound Shootouts were done with ground plane measurements. In 2006 we did all speakers at a constant voltage. In 2005 and 2007 we did all speakers at 28.3v, 100w, 200w, 400w and so on.
