Klippel New dB-Lab Version 212 and QC 7 Updates Extend Speaker and Enclosure Characterization Tools

Klippel released a major software update to its Klippel Analyzer System. The new dB-Lab Version 212 and QC 7 updates now add shared sensor management, support for the new Multi-Scanning Workbench hardware and three further modules (LSIM, MTON, RMA). The Klippel Multi-Scanning Workbench supports near-field holographic soundfield scanning measurements in a much smaller form factor, while the new modules add linear signal modeling and simulation and multi-tone measurements, dedicated to speaker and enclosure design.

Practical Considerations for Quality Control Testing of Loudspeakers

Integrating a power amplifier, microphone power supply, and analyzer required for speaker tests, the article details how the Audio Precision APx517B can save time in the overall test process through reduced setup and configuration steps. The authors also explain how this new AP solution meets the need to balance the cost of test including time, test methods, and system cost, against "the cost of failure" that might result from the expense of warranty repairs, or the possible negative impact to brand from product returns. This article was originally published in Voice Coil, April 2021.

How to Measure Free-Field Speaker Response Without an Anechoic Chamber

One of the biggest challenges with working from home during the pandemic was not having access to an anechoic chamber. This short tutorial, explains a simple solution for this: a “splice” measurement. The capability for such measurements has been included in SoundCheck since 2001. Despite its long history, this method has not seen widespread use. However, the current pandemic’s working challenges are sparking renewed interest. This article was originally published in Voice Coil, March 2021.

Comprehensive Transducer Testing in 24 Minutes

This article illustrates how the latest Klippel Multi-Scanning Workbench solution allows measurements across several domains (acoustical, mechanical, electrical, and magnetic) while working from non-anechoic environments. The author uses a practical characterization of balanced mode radiator (BMR) loudspeakers, which require a more complex approach when compared to conventional cone-based woofers or dome-tweeters. This article was originally published in Voice Coil, May 2021.

Quantifying Acoustic Sources Through Sound Power Measurement - White Paper Available

Andrew Barnard, Ph.D., INCE Board Certified from The Pennsylvania State University, touches on the basic source-path-receiver paradigm for white goods sound generation, focusing on the source in his latest research article. Understanding the source-path-receiver model is becoming increasingly important when determining proper measurement techniques for white goods noise radiation. With easy access to white goods data, consumers are more educated than ever on making their purchasing decision.
