| Sound table 4.24 | ||
Steinway radiated higher levels of SPL to mic 4 than Stuart by a significant 6dB. The tone of the Steinway is brighter than Stuart, as the STE 2nd partial (523 Hz), is larger in amplitude, with longer sustain, influencing the envelope of the Steinway sound. The Stuart transfers to the settled oscillation .7s earlier, than Steinway.
The peak volume of the Stuart fundamental is louder than Steinway’s, and decaying faster than Steinway in the onset. The larger 2nd partial of the Steinway sound influences the composite note, with the higher SPL and the longer, slower steady decay.
