Figure 101:
Result of the Music Response Checker for a Music Compensation Tuning that Needs Some
More Work
Run the "Check Leakage" process to configure the next measurement routine for this particular
leakage condition. This process will also check that the noise level is in the correct region and indicate
whether further adjustments to the music level are needed.
Once the “Check leakage” process has run
successfully, click on “Verify music response”. This will run a measurement routine, which checks
noise levels and measures the driver response with and without feedback ANC.
The measurement result is presented in two plots. The top plots show the two driver responses and
the bottom plot shows the difference between them. Typically, the driver response difference between
ANC on/off will not be noticeable if it is less than 2 dB. Repeat this measurement for several leakage
conditions. You can overlay several measurements by enabling "Append Measurement". Based on
these measurements you can refine the music compensation filters. Make sure to always run the auto
adaption before testing a modified music compensation filter.
After the music compensation was tuned, you can activate "D2FBM compensation" and "FB
Compensation" in the ALC configuration.

Algorithm Parameters
A number of parameters can be tuned in the bottom section of the ALC configuration. Their default
parameters will work for most headphone designs and you only need to tune them if there are
problems with the algorithm behavior and you find that these cannot be fixed by improving the filter
tuning.
