About the Course
Comprehensive Tools for Loudspeaker Testing and Diagnosis
Verifying loudspeaker features and specifications remains a major challenge for manufacturers and engineers alike. While the well-known Thiele/Small parameters provide a solid foundation for understanding loudspeaker behavior, many performance aspects - particularly under real-world, large-signal conditions - remain unaddressed.
This course offers a multi-domain approach to loudspeaker analysis, focusing on the complex electrical, mechanical, and acoustical interactions that determine sound quality and system reliability. Participants will gain in-depth insights into vibration modes, nonlinearities, and distortion mechanisms, as well as their connection to acoustical performance.
The seminar follows the loudspeaker design and development process, from parameter optimization to endurance testing and quality control. The program will devote particular attention to the diagnosis of transducer defects, with live demonstrations of state-of-the-art measurement systems and techniques.
