Simple Audio Test Chamber
It's been quite a while since I stopped following this group. I stopped
being the recorder for the local youth symphony and ran out of time to keep up with audio matters, bu now I want to build a small audio test chamber for work. I'm hoping the good folks here can help me a bit. We make rugged hand-held computers for outdoor use. Our products are all water proof. One of the challenges we always have is getting good speaker output and microphone input. Good for the speaker means easily heard and understood in somewhat noisy environments, meaning we need something like 80-90 dB SPL output. Good for the microphone means that we can record easily intelligible voice input. Both are at a distance of a foot or two or three with a frequency range of about 300 to 3400 Hz. In the past we have tested speakers and microphones very simplistically, using a sound level meter to monitor speaker output in a normal office environment, but we would like to get a little more professional about it. We had a summer student do some preliminary work, so we now have a reference speaker (Event Tuned Reference 8) and microphone (Audio-Technica AT2020), an Alesis RA 150 amplifier, an Edirol UA125 USB Audio Capture System, a small box to link them all together, and some Matlab programs on the computer to drive the system and plot the data. I was thinking that it would be best to have a small enclosure in which I could mount either a speaker (either the reference speaker or a test speaker or one of our hand-held units acting as a speaker) and a microphone (either the reference microphone or a test microphone or one of our hand-held units acting as a microphone). I would line the inside of the enclosure with sound absorbing panels so that we would be measuring mostly the direct response of the speaker or the microphone, since that is what we would mostly be getting in our outdoor environment. Am I on the right track? Is this something reasonably easy for me to do? How big should the chamber be? I was thinking of making the inside dimensions 25"x59"x96". I chose those dimensions so I wouldn't have any double or triple resonances but could use standard sizes of sound absorbing panels. How much effort should I put into making the side dimensions to spread the resonances? How close together can resonances be before they become too problematic? I would line the walls with 4" thick 24"x48" cotton panels filling most of the sides and ends and 12"x12" foam corners on two of the long edges to cover the gaps. I was thinking that I would put a hole in the long side roughly 3 feet from one end that I could put removable plates in that hold the reference speaker or the speaker under test. I would put another hole and plate one meter from that hole on which I could mount my reference microphone or the microphone under test. That would put my microphone roughly 2 feet from the other end. Is that a reasonable way to position the pieces? Should I fill the space behind the speaker and microphone with more sound absorbing material? Would stacking sections of the pads work? Would stacking the pads on the sides to leave just a narrow space a bit bigger than our hand-held be worthwhile? Would 1" MDF be stiff enough for the walls? Would I need to stiffen it with some outside ribs? I can readily calculate the resonant modes of rectangular plates. Do I need to worry much about the resonances? How many modes would I need to look at? Will the cotton panels (B.A.P. Bass Buster from www.acousticalsurfaces.com) absorb enough sound to make this very roughly like an anechoic chamber at the frequencies of interest? I don't need super precision, but I would like to have measurements that correlate fairly well with what the user would hear in actual use. Jerry Steiger |

I don't need super precision, but I would like to have measurements that correlate fairly well with what the user would hear in actual use. You're going to read much more useful and generally more positive comments than my current one, so please forgive me if I jump into the cold water with some of the "gotcha's": First, just as a matter of good old Science, you'll need *something* to act as a reference, if you really want to investigate. Could be a reference speaker, or could be a reference mic, but neither is cheap - and worse, neither is a "primary" reference. Without a reference, everything you measure is only relative to ... something else. Does that make sense? Primary references tend to be impulse noise generators: pop a balloon (not actually too wonderful), starter pistol (get your insurance in order first), or Don Pierce's spark gap with camera flash discharge (see the r.a.p thread - top recommendation, very elegant). Second, if your box is dead enough, you don't care about dimensions. If it isn't dead enough, you don't care about its results. Third and lastest, above 300 Hz, measurements today are usually done in a live room with a time window. Because impulses are challenging dynamically - the ideal is an infint(insert some appropriate vowel)lly short time of infinit(same damn vowel)lly large amplitude - judgement calls must be made. Hence the strong recommendation to research Don Pierce's recent posts, here on r.a.p IIRC. Commercial implementations allow for a noise source with the mathematical equivalent of an impulse, called an "MLS" (a "maximum length sequence", not so helpfully named...) The resulting hardware devices are generically called Melissa, after my sister. Fourth and post-mortem, it's voice range, so why do you care? Arf! All the best fortune, Chris Hornbeck |

If that's the case, then why not a headset instead of the computer's mic and speaker? It's not a laptop, it' more like a PDA or a smart phone on steroids. Just fitting in a speaker is a problem, since we don't have near the volume and area available that a laptop has. (We also don't have as much other stuff to fit in either, but getting room for good audio performance is tough.) Our customers can use a head set, but most of them don't want to. A lot of them are surveyors. They don't like wired headsets because wires get snagged by brush and they don't like wireless headsets because battery life is often not good enough for a full days work. They work in the rain and either type doesn't live very long in the wet. A good waterproof Bluetooth headset with long battery life would be a nice accessory for us, but we don't have the resources to design one ourselves and haven't found one from anyone else. If you or anyone else has some leads I would love to hear about them. Thanks! Jerry Steiger |

B&K makes an artificial ear system and an artificial mouth that are specifically designed for testing these things. They try very hard to simulate off-axis responses of actual human body parts. They aren't cheap, but they are surprisingly effective. Also, Nokia has done a lot of research into human body simulation for testing cellphones. A literature search might bring some of that up. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

... B&K makes an artificial ear system and an artificial mouth that are specifically designed for testing these things. They try very hard to simulate off-axis responses of actual human body parts. They aren't cheap, but they are surprisingly effective. Sorry, my answer only confused things even more! Our products aren't used like normal voice cell phones. It would be like Maxwell Smart using his shoe phone. The smallest are about one pound, the largest over two pounds. So I guess the first would be like Maxwell using 99's shoe and the second would be like him using the gentle giant's shoe. We actually planned on putting a speaker in a smaller one so it could be used like a normal cell phone but decided it didn't make sense for most of our customers. If we ever did that, we might need to look into the artificial ear and mouth. Certainly we would need to do considerably more testing to meet the certification standards of the cell phone companies. The microphone is used to record field notes or possibly for voice commands. The speaker is used mainly for notifications and the normal computer beeps and squeaks. I suppose people could play music over it to (thats how we used to test them), but there are much smaller systems that would sound much better and most everybody already has one, just like cell phones. Sometimes the unit is mounted on a tripod with surveyor's instrument. In that case it is roughly three feet off the ground and three feet away from the surveyor's head.Sometimes it is mounted a pole, putting it a little farther from the ground and closer to the surveryor, say 4 feet up and 2 feet away. Sometimes it is just held in a persons hand, so it could be as close as a foot and a half or so. They are always used with the display and keyboard pointing fairly close to straight at the user, so off axis response beyond 30 degrees or so isn't very important. I figured I would just measure the response straight on and not worry about off axis response, although I could easily rotate the units under test if it became important. Thanks again!

Could be a reference speaker, or could be a reference mic, but neither is cheap - and worse, neither is a "primary" reference. Without a reference, everything you measure is only relative to ... something else. Does that make sense? Yes, but we don't need NIST traceable accuracy.

Second, if your box is dead enough, you don't care about dimensions. If it isn't dead enough, you don't care about its results. I thought about that after I hit the send button. (Well, actually quite a while after, while riding my bike to work the next morning.) I'm still nervous about how much energy the sound absorbing pads are going to remove, especially near the lower end of the sprectrum. The 4" Bass Buster pads claim a Sound Transmission Loss using the ASTM E90 Test of .97 at 125Hz, 1.37 at 250Hz, 1.23 at 500Hz, 1.05 at 1KHz, 1.00 at 2KHz, 1.01 at 4KHz and an NRC of 1.15, but I don't really know what that means for me. Third and lastest, above 300 Hz, measurements today are usually done in a live room with a time window. We don't have a quiet room where I can get good data. I assume that the idea would be to run multiple tests to reduce the S/N, but it seems like it would be easier and quicker for me to build a relatively inexpensive chamber to limit the effects of the outside environment. Fourth and post-mortem, it's voice range, so why do you care? Arf! Because voices are important! I don't get your point. Thanks again, Jerry Steiger |

... It's easy to do if you only care about high frequencies. Since our little bitty speakers can't do much below 300Hz, I figured I was getting into the range where it was doable. The hard part is the door. I was planning to have small panels that I would mount with screws. That will slow me down in testing, but this is something that we won't do all that often or spend that much time on. The lower the frequency of interest, the larger the chamber has to be. Got any good rules of thumb or a likely source to find some? 300Hz means a wavelength of 3.76 feet. Does the smallest dimension of my chamber need to be greater than that or some multiple thereof? Take a look at the IAC catalogue. They make portable chambers in all varying sizes from very small to very large. You can try copying their designs. Thanks for the tip. I didn't find any that looked like a very good match for what I am trying to do. They make a couple of small test chambers,the mac-1, mac-2 and mac-3, but they only seem to be interested in isolating the device under test from the outside, since they use sheet metal walls on the inside. The mac-1 has roughly 2" insulation and they claim 23dB of reduction from out to in at 250Hz, 29dB at 500Hz, and 36-38dB at 1KHz to 4KHz. The mac-2 has roughly 4" insulation and claims 40dB at 250, 45 at 500, and 52-57 at 1K to 2K, so it does seem like my 4" cotton might be able to absorb quite a bit of energy. More layers should be better, so maybe it isn't such a bad idea. Or is it? They don't seem to worry much about the "room modes". The mac-2 has inside dimensions of 24x24x32 inches. Lots of reinforcing of nulls and peaks in there! I am thinking that Chris is correct, that if I get enough absorbtion at the frequencies of interst, I don't need to worry much about the modes in the chamber or the resonances in the walls. But can I get enough absorbtion? Thanks! Jerry Steiger |

Right, that's not the right tool for the job... look for the larger chambers. You can get away without a walk-in but you are going to need something larger than a fridge if you care about 300 Hz.

If I can get away with two feet of fiberglass or cotton on all sides, then a 5'x5'x8' box would leave me with a 1'x1'x4' test space. Now all I need is a reasonably flexible way of mounting and accessing the micrphones and speakers in the test area. Thanks again! Jerry Steiger |

You should be able to do the math to see the relative importance of the various modes. How many modes you care about depends on how flat a response you really need; by the ninth mode the peaks aren't very big at all but they are still there. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.
