Hertz Meter Reading Device

Hi all!

Does anyone know where I can go to buy a meter reading of how low or high your speakers can go? For example: I would like to know how low my subwoofer can go down to (Hz).

Do you know the brand that people are using to test out sound levels? And I am not talking about the Sound Meter which show you the db levels.

My subwoofer claim that it can go down to 11Hz but I want to test it out myself in my own home to see how low it can go in Hz and NOT in db.

Thanks!

These are called SPL meters where you can set up the frequency you want to measure the SPL in dB.
If you STILL want to only measure in Hertz than refer to the first post.

It is meaningless to ask "how low it can go" without specifying some number of db that the spl has declined by, relative to the response at some reference frequency (say 1kHz).

A common way of specifying bass rolloff might be something like it is down 3db at 30Hz, relative to 1kHz, and rolls off at 12db/octave below 30Hz.

If you are asking if there is a meter that will tell you at what frequency the response is down by some number of db, the answer is undoubtedly no.
