60 dB (Normal) 85 dB (OSHA Safe) 100 dB (Rock Concert) 126 dB (Soundboks Peak)
Acoustic Propagation Model: Calculated via inverse-square spherical wave expansion from a 0.1m near-field driver face (ΔdB = 20·log₁₀(d/0.1)). Outdoor boost engages proprietary high-gain psychoacoustic tuning (+2.8 dB).
WIRED Reviewer Warning: "I am scared to go full volume on this portable party speaker." Sustained exposure above 115 dB causes permanent sensorineural hearing damage within seconds without ear protection.
