Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Frequency Response (2 types?)

warfer: on the other thread, I asked for some links to "standards" because I wanted to be sure I understood what "games" the manufacturers are playing with specs these days.

If I understand the "specs-manship" properly, the 2 numbers are basically the same. The 95Hz-22kHz is contained with the spectrum of 65Hz-22kHz number. The +/- 3 dB is ripple (one frequency may be 6 dB stronger than another frequency) that you may find accross the 95Hz-22kHz spectrum. What the +3/-9 dB numbers are telling you is that the frequency response of the speaker rolls off (decreases) another 6 dB from 95Hz to 65Hz. The speaker can not handle the low frequency. It just runs out of capability.

Hope that this helps.
