Headroom Notes
PreSonus prints one SPL row, «Peak SPL 104 dB (@ 1 meter)», with no statement of test signal, weighting, distortion limit, or whether one cabinet or two were measured. The feature bullets on the same page call the identical number a maximum continuous SPL.
What the datasheet actually says
Quoted verbatim from the manufacturer’s own page, with the date we checked it. We state what is printed, not what anyone intended by it.
««104 dB maximum continuous SPL» — while the specification table on the same page reads «Peak SPL: 104 dB (@ 1 meter)»»
One page gives the same number, 104 dB, two mutually exclusive names. A continuous maximum is what the monitor holds indefinitely under thermal and excursion limiting; a peak maximum is what it reaches for a few milliseconds before the limiter acts. On any monitor these differ, typically by 8 to 12 dB. They cannot both be 104 dB. Which of the two PreSonus measured is not recoverable from the page, so the figure can be trusted only as an order of magnitude.
