Peaks/Dips Scores and Tests

Updated Nov 11, 2019 at 12:47 pm
What it is:
How well the sound frequency response follows its own sound profile. The sound profile curve used is a smoother version of its own frequency response. Therefore, the peaks and dips represent the "wiggles" of the frequency response. The calculations are done between 20Hz and 9kHz.
When it matters:
When you want to hear all the frequencies without overemphasis.

Good value:
< 1.5 db
Noticeable difference:
0.5 db
