As the use of loudspeakers, headphones, and other drivers grows, new measurement techniques are needed to evaluate these systems.
A series of examples, all of which require new measurement techniques.
• Limited access to transducer electrical terminals
The high integration of electrical, acoustic and mechanical components limits access to the transducer's electrical terminals.
• Analog or digital audio input signal
Audio input can be analog or digital in various formats.
• Delays and other types of distortion associated with digital signal processing
Digital signal processing is used to modify the transfer behavior of passive systems and generate the desired acoustic output, which may ultimately be produced in analog devices.
delays and other types of distortion not found in the
• Over-balancing
Excessive equalization may cause the transducer to operate in the large signal domain, resulting in thermal and nonlinear effects.
• Active protection
Active protection attenuates input signals to avoid mechanical and thermal overload of the transducer and other components.
• Other transducer principles
While most loudspeaker systems use electrodynamic transducers with moving coils, there is a need to expand the application to electrostatic, electromagnetic, and
Other transduction principles.
• Other mechanical and acoustic components
In order to improve the sound radiation, closed boxes, duct reflex boxes, passive radiation reflex boxes, horns, waveguides, flat plates and other mechanical and
Acoustic elements.
• Pulse distortion
Imperfections in manufacturing (such as voice coil friction) or operation under overload conditions may cause pulse distortion, which can have a significant impact on perception.
The sound quality of the sound is greatly affected, but it cannot be detected by traditional measurements (such as total harmonic distortion).
• Directivity characteristics and complex near-field properties
By considering the complex near-field properties as a supplement to existing far-field measurement techniques, a comprehensive evaluation of professional equipment can be achieved, including
In addition, for devices used in the near field, such as handheld personal audio devices (e.g. laptops, tablets
computers, smartphones, and other portable acoustic systems need to be evaluated in a manner appropriate to their intended use.

Part 21.Output-based acoustic measurements
1 Scope
This document describes the specifications for passive and active sound systems (such as loudspeaker units, televisions, multimedia equipment, personal portable audio equipment, etc.)
The device under test (DUT) can consist of electronic components and passive drivers.
The electrical input signal is first processed by electronic components for analog and digital signal processing, and then converted into an acoustic output signal by a passive driver.
This document describes physical measurements that can evaluate any analog or digital input signal of the DUT at any point in the near and far fields of the system.
The physical measurement of the transfer behavior between the signal and the acoustic output. This includes measuring the DUT in both the small signal domain and the large signal domain.
When performing a physical evaluation, the impact of the acoustic boundary conditions of the target application (e.g., the interior of a car) may also be considered. This document does not evaluate the effects of the reproduced sound.
Perceptual and cognitive evaluation and the impact of perceived sound quality.
NOTE According to reference [1], some of the measurement methods defined in this document can be applied to headphones, headphone-microphone combinations, earphones and headphone-microphone combinations.
This document does not apply to microphones and other sensors. This document does not require the acquisition of state variables (voltage, current) at the electrical terminals of the transducer.
Sensitivity, electrical input power and other characteristics based on electrical impedance are described in a separate standard document, IEC 60268-22, which is dedicated to
Electrical and mechanical measurements.
