Sound Pressure Level (SPL) Distance Calculator

When designing PA systems, especially those for fire/evacuation announcement systems,  SPL at a given distance can be a critical measurement. This handy calculator allows you to determine the dB level at a given distance by inputting SPL rating 1W/1m, listening distance (such as distance to bedhead) and power tap selection.  This can be used with any Redback 100V line speaker.
