Many manufacturers use different methods to quote frequency ranges, impedances, power outputs or handling capacities, SPL or PWL, leading the end users to much confusion and audio engineers to time-consuming calculations. An attempt is made to propose a correlative method of measurements and specifications-quoting. Rather than the inherent mathematics, this paper aims to outline a philosophy suggesting the end of a Babel-type dilemma.
