b. Verify that isolated ground receptacles are used for the technical power systems at all locations as
outlined in the grounding details of the AV drawings. Notify the University of any deviation of this
immediately. Check all outlets for proper termination of the hot, neutral, and ground conductors.
3. Loudspeaker System Tests. Perform the following tests and adjustments. Make corrections necessary to
bring system(s) into compliance with the specifications.
a. Measure and record the impedance of each loudspeaker at the equipment rack with the amplifier
disconnected. Measurements shall be documented in a table that lists the impedance for each 1/3 octave
band over the loudspeakers operating frequency. Measurements shall be accurate to within one-tenth of
an ohm. As an alternative, contractor may perform and document full impedance sweeps over each
individual device. Sweep to be performed over loudspeakers specified operating range.
b. Check polarity of loudspeakers with an electronic polarity checker and by applying music program or
constant power per octave (pink noise) signal to system while walking through the transition areas of
coverage from one loudspeaker to the next. Transition should be smooth with no apparent shift in
source from one speaker to the next.
c. Apply sine wave sweep signal to each loudspeaker system, sweeping from 50 Hz to 5k Hz and at a level
10 dB below full amplifier output, and listen for rattles or noise. Correct if apparent.
4. Microphone, line level, and Tie Lines Systems. Confirm the following. Make corrections necessary to
bring system(s) into compliance with the specifications.
a. Proper circuits appearing at each termination location.
b. Continuity of all conductors.

3.4 ACCEPTANCE
A. The process of acceptance testing is estimated to take a minimum of 8 hours. During this time the Contractor
shall have 2 technicians available to assist the University and make adjustments or corrections to the system
as required. Contractor shall be responsible for providing test equipment as outlined in Section 3.3 above for
the duration of the acceptance testing.
B. The following procedures will be performed by the University on each System:
1. The audio fidelity test shall consist of driving the system with pink noise and measuring the response from
40 Hz to 16k Hz. Digital Signal Processing will be used to adjust the response of the system (s) to fit the
requirements of the space.
2. Control functions shall be checked for proper operation, from controlling devices to controlled devices.
3. Adjust, balance, and align equipment for optimum quality and to meet the manufacturer's published
specifications. Establish and mark normal settings for each level control, and record these settings, in the
"System Operation and Maintenance Manual".
4. Installed and loose equipment will be inventoried for correct quantity.
