1. Object 2. Scope 1.1 The object of this Report is to present measurements of the acoustic performance of the SPW device. 2.1 The following characteristics were measured On-axis (reference axis) frequency response Polar response Impedance Applied voltage On-axis 3 rd octave band sound pressure level from which the following are calculated: (i) Directivity Index [db], tabulated and graphical (ii) Directivity factor, Q (iii) Effective octave and wide band (1Hz to 1kHz) impedance (iv) Octave band Sensitivity [db @ 1m, 1W/oct] (v) Wide band Sensitivity: dba @ 1m, 1W dblin @ 1m, 1W 25Hz-4kHz @ 1m, 1W Speech shape @ 1m, 1W (vi) Acoustic Power [db-pwl @ 1W], tabulated and graphical (vii) Octave band Power Apportionment [%] (viii) Impedance bode plot (ix) Expected maximum Sound pressure level [db @ 1m] (assuming no compression) (x) Frequency response chart (xi) Polar response charts.
3. Method 4. Results 5. Notes 3.1 The device was mounted in Free Space as shown in figure 1 - Mounting Method C. 3.2 The measurements were made in an anechoic chamber. 3.3 Measurements were made as detailed in AMS Test Method document No. IR/1a/LS/Meth. 3.4 All measurements were made in general accordance with BS EN 6268: Part 5: 23. 4.1 The On-axis 3 rd octave frequency response of the device is shown graphically. 4.2 The Impedance bode plot of the device is shown graphically. 4.3 Polar plots of the device are shown graphically. 4.4 Tabulated values of Directivity index, Directivity factor, Sensitivity, Acoustic Power, Power Apportionment, Impedance and Maximum SPL are shown in the Summary data sheet. 4.5 The Directivity Index has been calculated using Gerzon equal angle, weighted area method. 5.1 Sensitivity The octave band sensitivity is produced in its useful form for calculations. It should be noted that the octave band sensitivity is given as db @ 1m, 1W/Oct. To determine the output when only the overall power is known, then only the overall dba or dblin values should be used. For more detailed information, refer to AMS Acoustics Data Sheet Loudspeaker Sensitivity Interpretation of Results. 5.2 Polar Plots For convenience, each polar plot has been normalized to db. For this reason, caution is advised when comparison of levels between octave bands are made. The reference axis frequency response should be used for comparison purposes.
6. Engineers Notes & Observations The reference point is located at the centre of the loudspeaker driver, in line with the baffle board. The reference axis is normal to the grille, in line with the reference point. The impedance does not fall to below 8% of the rated impedance within the frequency range 89Hz to 11.2kHz.
