<h2 id=audio_frequency_speaker_test>Audio frequency speaker test</h2> |
|
|
|
<p>This test uses the signal captured by an external USB reference microphone to |
|
assess the frequency response of left (and right, if it exists) loudspeakers.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>A reference microphone is defined as that one that delivers flat, uncolored |
|
response. They are often used for analysis and measurement equipment. </p> |
|
|
|
<p>There are some inexpensive USB Reference microphones (e.g., <a |
|
href="https://minidsp.com/products/acoustic-measurement/umik-1">miniDSP USB |
|
Measurement calibrated microphone</a>, <a |
|
href="http://www.daytonaudio.com/index.php/umm-6-usb-measurement-microphone.html">Dayton |
|
Audio UMM-6 USB Measurement Microphone</a>), mostly used for the home theater |
|
enthusiasts to calibrate their setups.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>Minimum recommended reference microphone characteristics:<br> |
|
Flat Frequency response on range 100 Hz - 20 kHz: +/- 2 dB<br> |
|
S/N ration 70 dB (A-weighted)<br> |
|
THD Ratio @ 1000 Hz less than 1 % at 127 dB SPL<p> |

<h2 id=audio_frequency_microphone_test>Audio frequency microphone test</h2> |
|
|
|
<p>This test is more involved than the previous ones. It requires the use of both: |
|
External speakers for a white noise sound source, and a USB reference |
|
microphone to use as a reference for the sound. Although this process is more |
|
involved, it can be performed with affordable, easy to get, hardware</p> |
|
|
|
<p>External speakers positioned 40cm from the device are used to deliver a white |
|
noise sound source. These speakers don’t need to have a “Flat” frequency |
|
response, but need good coverage from low frequencies (100 hz) to high |
|
frequencies (20khz) is expected which is usually met by portable or medium size |
|
self powered speakers (e.g. Sony SRS-X5 portable speakers) </p> |
|
|
|
<p>The key element here is that a step for calibration (using the USB reference |
|
microphone) is performed, to estimate the actual response of the speakers, thus |
|
have a solid reference to compare the built in microphone against.</p> |

<h2>Audio Frequency Unprocessed Test</h2> |
|
<p> |
|
For this test, in addition to the USB reference microphone and external |
|
speakers, it is necessary to have access to a Sound Pressure Level Meter (SPL |
|
Meter). |
|
</p> |
|
<p> |
|
Also worth mentioning, in this test the Playback and Test parts of each test |
|
have been given their own button. This was done to help test certain devices |
|
which don't have easy playback capabilities, but still can test the recording |
|
source UNPROCESSED. |
