20、 of the Electronic Equipment Standards Policy Committee and is identical with IEC268-10:1991 “Sound system equipment Part10: Peak programme level meters”, published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). This British Standard implements Harmonization Document HD483.10 S1, published
21、by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC). This British Standard supersedes BS5428-9:1981 which is withdrawn. The purpose of this Part of BS6840 is to standardize the characteristics to be specified, the relevant methods of measurement and performance requirements (in
22、some cases) for: peak programme level meters, in general (section3); peak programme level meters, type I (section4); peak programme level meters, type II (section5); peak programme level meters having incremental displays (section6); peak programme level meters having incremental displays, for secon
23、dary and household applications (section7). In general, the methods of measurement recommended are those which are directly related to the definitions. This does not exclude the use of other methods which can be shown to give equivalent results. BS6840 consists of the following Parts: Part 1: Method
24、s for specifying and measuring general characteristics used for equipment performance (supersedes part of BS5428-1); Part 2: Glossary of general terms and calculation methods (supersedes part of BS5428-1); Part 3: Methods for specifying and measuring the characteristics of sound system amplifiers (s
25、upersedes BS5428-2); Part 4: Methods for specifying and measuring the characteristics of microphones (previously BS5428-3); Part 5: Methods for specifying and measuring the characteristics of loudspeakers (supersedes BS5428-11 and BS 5428-11: Supplement 1); Part 6: Methods for specifying and measuri

27、 Part 9: Methods for specifying and measuring the characteristics of artificial reverberation, time delay and frequency shift equipment (previously BS5428-8); Part 10: Methods for specifying and measuring the characteristics of peak programme level meters (supersedes BS5428-9); Part 11: Specificatio
28、n for application of connectors for the interconnection of sound system components (supersedes BS5428-5.2); Part 12: Specification for applications of connectors for broadcast and similar use (supersedes BS5428-5.3); Part 13: Guide for listening tests on loudspeakers (new); Part 14: Guide for circul
29、ar and elliptical loudspeakers; outer frame diameters and mounting dimensions (previously BS5428-5.1); Part 15: Specification for matching values for the interconnection of sound system components (supersedes BS5428-10); 1) In preparation.BS6840-10:1991 BSI 05-1999 v Part 16: Guide to the “RASTI” me
