Fast, Quality Testing of Loudspeaker Suspension Parts

This article discusses an approach for time-efficient testing of loudspeaker suspension parts, close to their final operating conditions. It refers to the Linear Suspension Test set (LST Lite), a hardware and software add-on for the Klippel QC loudspeaker end-of-line testing system. The system may be applied to 100% of the parts or to a random sample. This article was originally published in Voice Coil, December 2012 (with some updates introduced from 2019 documents).

Beyond Thiele/Small DUMAX and Klippel Driver Measurement Systems

March 13, 2019 by Thomas Perazella

Beyond Thiele/Small DUMAX and Klippel Driver Measurement Systems

Anyone who is serious about designing a loudspeaker using dynamic drivers is either familiar with, or has used, Thiele/Small parameters, generally accepted as ways to predict driver behavior in different enclosures. But there are other measurement methods we can use to determine and quantify nonlinearities: the DUMAX system, produced by DLC Design, and the Klippel Analyzer System by Klippel GmbH. This article was originally published in audioXpress, March 2003.

Meyer Sound Introduces M-Noise Test Signal for ‘Real World’ Loudspeaker SPL Measurements

Meyer Sound Introduces M-Noise Test Signal for ‘Real World’ Loudspeaker SPL Measurements

Meyer Sound has introduced M-Noise, a new test signal that will promote standardized measurement of a loudspeaker system’s maximum linear output. A mathematically derived test signal that effectively emulates the dynamic characteristics of music, according to Meyer Sound, M-Noise enables a far more accurate measurement of a loudspeaker system’s linear peak SPL in any application requiring reproduction of musical content.
