Given Stereophile's long standing heritage of using a wide range of measurements, I would like to get your take on an assertion advanced on another audio board by an ex-submariner. I confess that while measurements are valuable to an extent, I find they fail to be able to make subtle determinations such as the ability to recreate natural hall ambience. Like what John observes when using his own minimally miked recordings as a reference. Response by the Chief? And to your how it looks question... it's a time v frequency waterfall display, easy day When pressed, his reply was: Sorry, I was not aware that you are also familiar with the capabilities of the equipment the Office of Naval Intelligence uses to analyze sound. While I have no doubt the Navy possesses pretty sophisticated ways to analyze the kinds of sounds important to track other ships, have they mastered something no one else in the audio industry understands? I'm aware of waterfall metrics found with speaker tests, but are they also sensitive to conveying the performance of everything upstream? |
