Figure 47-10. This is a dBA (A weighted SPL) for all 4 days
of NAMM- The booth power was shut down in the evening
and then turned on for the exhibition. The SLARM™
restarted itself each morning and logged automatically
during this time. It was not connected to a computer. The
black indications are of sound levels exceeding the thresh-
olds set in the SLARM™. Courtesy ACO Pacific.
