Acoustic Performance

Declared noise emission values in accordance with ECMA-109

1. L _W A,m is the mean A-weighted sound power level, rounded to the nearest 0.1 B.

2. L _p A,m is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level measured at the operator position (rounded to the nearest 1 dB).

3. 1 B (bel) = 10 dB (decibel)

4. K _v is the statistical adder for computing upper-limit of A-weighted sound power level.

5. The quantity, L _W A,c (formerly called L _W Ad) may be computed from the sum of L _W A,m and K _v .

6. The Wireless web test browses 25 popular websites.

7. Configuration tested: Apple M1 chip, 8-core GPU, 8GB memory, 512GB storage.
