Hi Tom,Thanks for joining in.
Yes I understand equal loudness curves.
Is there any merit to my previous post, which theorizes that the RTA readings back in the audience (farfield) are going to be bass-heavy relative to the RTA readings nearfield, due primarily to the directivity of the mains but possibly also due to absorption coefficients in an occupied room?
I look at two-piece (two fullrange mains) PA systems, and don't see evidence that they are designed to have a low end cranked 10 - 20 dB louder than the mids and highs.
As another example, at the link below is a four-piece JBL system: Two mains, two subs. The mains max out at 133 dB each, and the subs max out at 127 dB each. Is this system a complete joke, with the subs running out of gas 16 to 26 dB before the mains?

Me being a dealer makes you leery?? It gets worse... I'm a manufacturer too.
