If you’ve ever tried to set up a home theater system with 5 or 7 speakers and a subwoofer by ear, without a Sound Pressure Level meter, then you know how difficult that is. If you have ever known, for certain, that one of your 2, or 5, or 7 audio channels is out of phase but struggled to find the one place in hundreds of meters of cable where a connection is swapped, then you know that certain judgments are impossible without test equipment. If you’ve ever worried about being fined for exceeding loudness limits in your plant’s audio chain, then you know that relying on subjective assessments can directly impact your profitability.
