I have a question about the RTA on the DEQ that I haven't been able to figure out.

I'm trying to figure out if the level bar on the display which on mine is indicating a level of -105db on a scale of 0 to -130dB is indicating my signal to noise ratio or dynamic range on the DEQ?

The actual RTA bands show low level noise which measures below -115dB with no material being played.

Which one if any is showing the dynamic range that I'm getting out of the DEQ?

Thanks again JohnM.

I can switch it to display input or output.Would the output level be a better indicator of the noise level?

I notice when I turn on my tv(older HD CRT)the noise level goes from -105dB to -96dB.I'm losing almost 10dB just to noise with the tv on!:unbelievable:

The DEQ manual indicates it has >113dB dynamic range with a balanced input.My lexicon MC-1 indicates a dynamic range of a minimum of 105dB.It looks like the noise level is about right minus the noise from the tv.
