Frequency Response
This measurement is useful in
determining how accurately a given
unit reproduces an input signal.
The frequency response of the
SP 5 is measured at a distance of
1 meter using a 1 Watt (into the
nominal impedance) swept-sine
input signal. As shown in figure
1, the selected drivers in the
SP 5 combine to give a smooth
frequency response from 69 Hz to
17 kHz.

distortion curve that is down 40 dB
from the fundamental is equivalent
to 1% distortion.
