1 The infinite baffle loudspeaker measurement in half space by holographic near field scanning 2015, Klippel GmbH The infinite baffle loudspeaker measurement in half space, 1 Comprehensive 3D-Directivity Data Required: Professional Stage and PA Equipment Accurate complex directivity data in the far-field is required for room simulations and sound system installations (line arrays) Home Audio Application Specification for 360 degree polar measurements (CEA ) Studio Monitor Loudspeakers Professional reference loudspeakers need a careful evaluation in the near-field Handheld Personal Audio Devices The near-field response generated by laptops, tablets, smart phones, etc. is more important than the far field response (considered in new proposal IEC ) The infinite baffle loudspeaker measurement in half space, 2
2 Abstract To measure loudspeakers under standardized conditions, the device is usually mounted in a baffle, which avoids the acoustical shortcut between front and backward sound and enables a measurement without the influence of an enclosure. Because of practical limitation of the baffle size (normalized baffle: 13 x 16 mm), diffraction effects causes ripples in the frequency response. Especially for low frequency (<100 Hz) the measurement is very inaccurate, because of both insufficient damping of the measurement room and limited dimensions of the baffle. A solution of the know problems is the holographic approach, using spherical harmonics and Hankel functions to identity the sound pressure in the near field. Due to the measurement on multiple layers, both room reflections and diffraction can be separated from the direct sound of the device. Thus, the holographic technique provides full 3D radiation data, measured in a normal room (e.g. workshop), without the problems of a non-infinite baffle.

4 Half Space Measurement Practical Limitation limited baffle size (baffle is not infinite) measurement in full anechoic room Problems: Acoustic short cut for low frequencies (measurement range limited) Diffraction effects from the edges of the baffle anechoic rooms are insufficiently damped for low frequencies (<100 Hz) baffle cannot be rotated to measure 3D directivity The infinite baffle loudspeaker measurement in half space, 8 Diffraction from baffle edges wave length is smaller than the dimension of the baffles Sound source radiates into halfspace (2 ) delayed reflections from baffle edges cause ripples in the sound pressure output Example Measurement of a 38mm driver in free air mounted in circular baffle mounted in rectangular baffle The infinite baffle loudspeaker measurement in half space, Linkwitz Lab -

Measurement of sound pressure distribution 2. Holographic post-processing of the measured data (wave expansion) 3. Extrapolation of the sound pressure at any point in the far and near field The infinite baffle loudspeaker measurement in half space, 14

9 How to realize the scanning for the baffle? 4 -Scan or 2 -Scan in out measure on two complete surfaces around the baffle in out measure on two hemispherical surfaces in front the baffle Advantages: + sound separation can compensate room effects + non-anechoic measurement Disadvantages - acoustical short cut and diffractions cannot be separated (internal sources) - Not applicable for large baffle (scanning surface is very large) Advantages: + acoustic short cut and diffractions are outside the scanning surface and can be separated by sound separation + Perfect half-space measurement + transducer can be measured in smaller baffles Particularities: baffle must be larger than the scanning surface Symmetry assumptions required 2 -scan provides a perfect half space measurement Infinite baffle The infinite baffle loudspeaker measurement in half space, 20 Symmetry assumption Sound reflection on a plate S A reflected sound wave can be modelled by a mirror sound source.
