Loudspeaker Distortion – Measurement and Perception Part 1: Regular distortion defined by design
نویسندگان
چکیده
A major part of the signal distortion generated by loudspeaker systems are directly related with the geometry and properties of the material used in loudspeaker design and found in all good units passing the assembling line. Those regular distortions are the result of an optimisation process giving the best compromise between perceived sound quality, maximal output, cost, weight and size. This paper discusses the physical causes of the regular distortion, their modelling by using lumped and distributed parameters, the objective assessment using modern measurement techniques and the perception by the human ear.

متن کاملInvestigating the Effect of Joint Geometry of the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Process on the Residual Stress and Distortion using the Finite Element Method
Although a few models have been proposed for 3D simulation of different welding processes, 2D models are still more effective in design goals, thus more popular due to the short-time analysis. In this research, replacing "time" by the "third dimension of place", the gas tungsten arc welding process was simulated by the finite element method in two dimensions and in a short time with acceptable ...
متن کاملAn Elimination Method of the Nonlinear Distortion in Frequency Domain by the Volterra Filter
There are two types of distortion of the loudspeaker system, the linear and the nonlinear distortions. We have tried to eliminate the linear distortion by digital filters. However, the more quantity of the elimination of the linear distortion, results in the more quantity of the nonlinear distortion. Therefore in order to make a high quality audio system we need to eliminate both the linear and...
متن کاملAudibility of Linear Distortion with Variations in Sound Pressure Level and Group Delay
Recent psychoacoustic studies of nonlinear distortion have yielded some new insights into what audible problems in loudspeaker might be related to. This paper will show the results of recent subjective tests which extend the work of various previous works to show that sound level significantly affects the perception of linear distortion in audio systems. This means that the hearing system itsel...
متن کاملPerceptual Quality Impact of Geometric Distortion in Images
This paper presents a study on the human perception of geometric distortions in images. The first part of the study is the design and implementation of a user-test to measure human perception of geometric distortions in images. The result of this test is then used to evaluate the performance of the second part of the study, namely the objective quality measurement scheme. Our experiment shows t...
