6.1.5 SLM Dynamic Range
The dynamic range of the SLM input is around 94 dB. Two ranges are available (Low or High)

. The
table below provides examples of the dynamic ranges for given sensitivities of 40 and 50 mV/Pa.

An electronic high-pass filter set at 0.9 Hz is applied on the input to block any DC. However, another
filter can be applied to the FFT Spectrum to match the 1/3 octave spectrum frequency span, which is
6.3 Hz to 20 kHz.
The high pass filter cut-off frequency can be lowered but the global level resulting from the sum of
the FFT lines may be different than the SLM global levels (LS, LF, LI, Leq and SEL) and their associated
1/3 Octave Spectrum.

Both low and high range should be available on the SLM input of a Concerto unit. Other hardware (such as
Alto-6ch and Itrack) may only have the low range available.
