5.2.1 Test Setup

Required are a power amplifier, a calibrated standard microphone and possibly a microphone amplifier.

FIG 9: Test setup for measuring the sound pressure

The input of the power amplifier is connected to the XLR output (channel 1) of the UPD/UPL generator,
the power amplifier output in parallel to the DUT and to the XLR input (channel 1) of the UPD/UPL
analyzer.  This allows the output power of the power amplifier to be determined. For measuring the sound-
pressure characteristic the standard microphone is connected to the XLR input (channel 2) of the
UPD/UPL analyzer (if required via the microphone amplifier).

Sound measurements are preferably carried out in an anechoic chamber where the measurement cannot
be falsified by indirect noise. Without the use of such a chamber, reflections caused by walls, floor or
ceiling may amplify or attenuate the sound level at certain frequencies. The strongest amplification or
attenuation occurs when the in-phase or quadrature signals are superimposed. This effect cannot be
completely avoided but it can be reduced by means of the following measures:

• 

Covering all walls with absorbing material (carpets, curtains, etc) reduces the echo level.

• 

Minimizing the microphone distance. This increases the direct signal level in relation to the echo level.

• 

Maximizing the echo path by suitably positioning the standard microphone and the loudspeaker. This
reduces the echo level and extends the period during which an echofree measurement can be made.
In the ideal case and particularly at higher frequencies it can be attained that the measurement is
terminated before the echo arrives at the microphone.

• 

Using noise or burst signals instead of continuous sinewave signals. Thus echoes of the previous
measurement affecting the current measurement can be eliminated.

Sound pressure measurements can be carried out as far-field, near-field or combined near-field/far-field
measurements.
