Abstract

Loudspeaker measurement technology has grown significantly in the last two decades as digital signal processing has come on the scene. In earlier days, the industry relied on mechanically driven sine wave oscillators operating in synchronism with moving paper chart recorders, many of which are just now winding down their useful existence. More to the point of loudspeakers, we are still learning which performance attributes need to be measured, and to what degree of detail.
