Standard Description
This Standard provides a characterization of and a procedure to measure spectral balance, with criteria for use in the design and commissioning of audio systems.
This Standard defines the parameters for characterizing the spectral balance of sound systems by evaluating its transfer function to identify variations in frequency response averaged across the audience listening area. The Standard defines a process to measure, document, and classify a sound system’s ability to reproduce a relatively uniform spectral balance, also known as a uniform frequency response.
This standard is currently in development.

AVIXA's consensus standards development process is accredited by ANSI, a private, non-profit organization that administers and coordinates the U.S. voluntary standardization and conformity assessment systems. ANSI is the sole U.S. representative of the two major non-treaty international standards organizations, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and, via the U.S. National Committee (USNC), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Accreditation by ANSI signifies that the procedures used by AVIXA in connection with the development of American National Standards meet the Institute's essential requirements for openness, balance, consensus, right to appeal, and due process.
