COMSOL and Klippel, Integration of Simulation and Measurement Data

Modeling and Simulation and Measurement systems evolved significantly in the past decade. Important progress is now bridging the gap between COMSOL simulation and Klippel measurement data, Roger Shively reports after returning from Orlando, FL, where we attended another edition of the ALTI Expo & Conference (June 11-13, 2023). This article summarizes the content covered in a very important session as part of the APDA-ALTI Education Symposium 2023.

Voice Coil Focus: A Fresh Take on Green Audio 2023

Good intentions for sustainability, circularity, or simply reducing your carbon foot-print in the development or manufacturing stages not always produces the intended results. Mike Klasco reminds us how things are not always as simple as we would like, and that having good intentions and throwing empty claims might work on paper, but not actually work in the real world.

Practical Test & Measurement: The Proof Is in the Testing

The Klippel Near Field Scanner System (NFS) was used for the critical testing and measurement of Holoplot's X1 Matrix Array compensation algorithm capabilities. All our readers who have appreciated the story of the development of the unique Holoplot technology, published in the September 2022 issue of audioXpress, will enjoy reading about how Klippel and Holoplot worked to overcome frequency absorption and gain reduction challenges that resulted from the need to conceal the X1 systems behind an acoustically semi-transparent projection panel.

New Klippel Endurance Testing (KET) Available with Winter 2023 Klippel Software Update

A completely new approach to long-term testing is now available as part of the latest Klippel dB-Lab Version 212 and QC 7 software. The update for the Klippel Analyzer System - free of charge for all users running dB-Lab 212 or QC7 - introduces two new pre-release modules and a new Online Help System for both R&D and QC. The main new module is the Klippel Endurance Testing (KET) and the second is a Nonlinear Residual Analyzer (NRL) tool dedicated to measuring any audio playback device with arbitrary signals such as music or speech.

Speaker Measurements: Replacing IEC 60268-5 (Part 2) - The Importance of Measurements
February 1, 2023 by Geoff Hill

Speaker Measurements: Replacing IEC 60268-5 (Part 2) - The Importance of Measurements

This article concludes the examination by Geoff Hill of the work taking place on loudspeaker measurement standards, and the progress the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has made with its update efforts, also resulting from the work of the Audio Engineering Society's Standards Committee. We learn how these new standards apply to measurements of sound in 3D space and in production environments, SPL using voltage sensitivity, and the measurements of microspeakers. This article was originally published in audioXpress, October 2022.
