A total of 372 loudspeakers in 164 professional monitoring rooms around the world have been measured after acoustical calibration. Measured rooms have been equipped with factory calibrated three way monitors acoustically calibrated in-situ after installation with a standardized apparatus. The results provide understanding of typical monitoring conditions, the spread in the operational room response curve and frequency response differences between speakers in one room. Results are compared to current standards and recommendations.
