Ground Plane Acoustic Measurement of Loudspeaker Systems

Authors: Gander, Mark R.

AES Convention 66 · Paper 1648 · May 1980

Abstract

Elaborate electronic techniques or specially constructed environments are usually required to measure only the direct field from a loudspeaker without contamination from reflected signals. By placing the measurement object on a rigid, unobstructed ground surface, and placing the measurement microphone flush with the ground, an accurate simulation of the anechoic response of the object together with its image source may be obtained.
