STI-PA results screens
The test signal is made up of 7 octave band signals which encompasses a
combination of vowels and syllables from common speech. There are 14
modulating frequencies that emulate a male/female’s speech patterns. The STI
method is based on the determination of the modulation transfer function (MTF)
which is the ratio of measured modulation to the overall signal strength at each
modulation frequency.

the STI-PA results screen.
STI-PA measurement and scale results screen
In the
STI-PA measurement screen
, the MTF is combined according to IEC 60268-
16 and presented on a scale between 0 to 1 representing the quality or intelligibility of
the mass notification system.
