Audibility of Nonlinear Loudspeaker Distortions

Authors: Schmitt, Regina

AES Convention 98 · Paper 4016 · February 1995

Abstract

The sensitivity of human hearing with respect to nonlinear distortions has to be investigated in order to focus on the development of loudspeakers, especially to the sources of most audible distortions. By means of digital signal processing, a filter system can be designed showing the inverse transfer characteristic of an electrodynamical low-frequency loudspeaker. This filter system has been used for producing defined distortions to determine the thresholds of hearing of three dominant nonlinear distortion causes.
