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.

HEAD acoustics Introduces HQS-Audio for Comprehensive Testing of Loudspeakers, Headphones and Audio Systems in Vehicles

HEAD acoustics, one of the world's leading companies in the field of voice and audio quality optimization, introduced HQS-Audio, a new tool for its ACQUA analysis system that provides whole set of targeted electroacoustic measurements and helps to comprehensively test the quality of audio devices. Whether loudspeakers, headphones, or audio systems in vehicles, HQS-Audio provides independent test runs for each application, consisting of various electroacoustic measurements, including Thiele-Small parameters.

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.

Audio Precision Expands Microphone Product Family

Audio Precision announced the expansion of its line of measurement microphones with the introduction of the 376M03, a calibrated microphone system combining a 1/2" microphone cartridge with a phantom-powered preamplifier - the 426M16 - in its 1/2" configuration. The new preamplifier combines the precision of calibrated, standardized measurement microphones with the convenience of ubiquitous mic accessories offering phantom power, balanced connections for improved immunity to induced noise, and easy connectivity via common XLR cables.

Speaker and Microphone Measurements: Eliminate Reflections While Testing

Speaker and Microphone Measurements: Eliminate Reflections While Testing

Acoustic reflections in rooms, in the form of reverberation, contribute significantly to the characteristic of sound. In acoustic measurements for quality testing of loudspeakers and microphones, however, these reflections can produce inaccurate results and should therefore be excluded as far as possible. The measurement results must be reproducible and not significantly influenced by the room acoustics. In this article, NTi Audio explains how to remove reverberation from the measurement results.

Optimizing Loudspeaker Directivity Through the Crossover Region

Optimizing Loudspeaker Directivity Through the Crossover Region

Do you know what the crossover filters are doing to the response of the loudspeaker system? Some of you might have measured the frequency response of the loudspeaker system to determine what’s happening through the crossover region. However, most designers only look at the loudspeaker’s on-axis response. It’s equally important, or perhaps more important, to know what’s happening off-axis. Let’s see how loudspeaker modeling can be used to help with this. This article was originally published in Voice Coil, August 2017.

VC Spotlight: More Than a Magnet

VC Spotlight: More Than a Magnet

Is the solid part of a loudspeaker motor just a magnet or is there more to it? Simulation tools have helped to create effective and powerful magnet constructions, which make it easy to build a prototype based on calculations and experience. The next obvious step is measuring and listening to the assembled speaker. However, more conclusions can be drawn by analyzing the individual parts further. This article was originally published in Voice Coil, May 2017.
