Okay, report back from my experience yesterday:
- recorded about 18 rows back DFC in a place that olds 1,200 (I was about about two rows past half way back).
- ran the vms02ib at 30dB and the mod SBM at 7-7.5 on the dial.
- program was Mozart 'Masonic Requiem' KV477, Strauss 'Death and Transfiguration'Op24 and Schumann Op61 in C.
results are that there is noticable overloading at the most loud passages where I was peaking at -3 to -1dB (maybe a brief instance of an over). The overloading was a static like sound. Most of the program was well under -18dB. Classical music is the hardest to dial in for stealth, I think.
