What is the typical dynamic range of a measured impulse response?
The loopback dynamic range or Impulse response to Noise Ratio INR, averaged over the octave bands from 125 Hz through 4 kHz, is typically about 60 dB. With a good sound device, the loopback INR is about 50 dB at 31.5 Hz, increasing upto 96 dB at 4 kHz and up, and 80 dB on average. Sound studios typically show 60 dB, and concert halls 50 dB.
