CTA-2010: A Better Way to Measure Subwoofers

Exploring the Standard Method of Measurement for Subwoofers (ANSI/CTA-2010-B R-2020), Brent Butterworth discusses how this might be a better method for avoiding the confusion on measuring bass extension of subwoofers. The article details how CTA-2010 measures usable output at 1/3-octave intervals within the subwoofer’s operational range, instead of measuring frequency response at a low sound pressure level.

Measuring Loudspeaker Low-Frequency Response

Measuring Loudspeaker Low-Frequency Response

With the availability of low-cost, PC-based acoustic data acquisition systems, experienced hobbyists can make highly accurate loudspeaker frequency-response measurements without an anechoic chamber. The power of these systems comes at a price. These systems window the time-domain measurement to eliminate room reflections. This, in turn, limits low-frequency response.

Fresh From the Bench: G.R.A.S. Sound & Vibration RA040X Ear Simulator

Brent Butterworth reviews the new RA040X Ear Simulators from G.R.A.S. Sound & Vibration. Measuring headphone response at frequencies above-10 kHz has been an imprecise, non-standardized process. The new RA040X ear simulator represents part of an effort by G.R.A.S. Sound & Vibration to update headphone measurement equipment to suit the needs of today’s headphone industry, and make the measurements more meaningful.

VC Spotlight: CLIO Pocket User Report

In this article, Vance Dickason explores Audiomatica's CLIO Pocket analyzer. Rather than go into detail regarding all the measurement routines available in CLIO Pocket - audioXpress already published a thorough review in the October 2015 issue - Dickason gives practical examples using measurements for a couple of drivers in the same way he does for his monthly column, Test Bench. This article was originally published in Voice Coil, March 2016.
