Title: Audio Test and Measurement Tips and Tricks – What You Won’t Find in a Book
Presenter: Dan Foley, Audio Precision, Leicester, Massachusetts USA
Content
To develop an accurate model of a product or device, test and measurement is crucial. In many cases, test results are required to verify assumptions used when creating a model. If these results are questionable, the corresponding model(s) are suspect. This session will cover key aspects of audio testing that often impact the quality of test results. Topics will include measurement microphone selection, instrumentation and product grounding techniques, choice of test signals, AC power sources, and avoiding electrical/EMI interference.
