Pink noise and monitors

wado1942 · 10th March 2009

Hello, I'm realigning my monitors in the next couple of days. I want to use band-limited pink noise (500Hz-2KHz) to set levels but don't know what band pass order to use. What's standard, 2nd order, 4th?

Thanks.

I doubt it matters much what slope you use for setting levels.

Thanks, I just took a wild guess and used 4th order. I was actually only 2/3rds of a dB off spec.
