HEAD acoustics ACQUA Adds Listening Effort Prediction Option

With LEAP (Listening Effort Prediction from Acoustic Parameters) now integrated into ACQUA 6.1.100, HEAD acoustics offers an optional tool for on-site prediction of the perceived listening effort. The software predicts the perceived listening effort of a listener when hearing an impaired speech signal without the need for an undisturbed reference signal. This makes it possible to carry out measurements more efficiently under laboratory conditions and in real-world applications.

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.
