A weight vs. linear weight

gary f · 2nd April 2004, 02:07 PM

Do someone know if speakers are measured in frequency using linear dB scale or A weighted scale?

I did some FFT measurements yesterday using A-weighted curve and the measurements shows no bass at all. It would be normal if speakers are normaly measured with linear weight. (lin weight have a huge lift in bass power versus a-weight curve)

Just want to check if someone knows.

No weighting is used when measuring loudpspeakers,
