Here's the results of some speaker measurements that I made tonight, based
on passing 50 Hz & 4 KHz mixed 1:1 at about 1.2 volts rms, through a Peerless 6.5 inch woofer with about 6 mm Xmax (relatively large for a woofer its size). The speaker is mounted in a roughly 0.4 cubic foot box with no vent. The power amp is a QSC USA 850. This is not very loud. The mic is an ECM8000 that is a few inches from the woofer cone. http://www.pcavtech.com/techtalk/doppler/ The first graph shows the broadband response. The large spikes at 50 Hz and 4 KHz are clearly visible. The second and third harmonics of the 50 Hz tone are about 30 dB down. The spike for the 4 KHz tone is about 5 dB higher than the spike for 50 Hz because the woofer is simply that much more efficient at 4 KHz. The second graph is taken from the same test, with the frequency scale enlarged to show about 400 Hz on either side of 4 KHz. The first pair of large spikes are about 50 Hz on either side of 4 KHz, the second are about 100 Hz on either side of 4 KHz, and so on. The distortion products are probably a mixture of AM and FM distortion, with FM predominating, as the test is contrived to focus on FM. While I've got this set up, any other data that anyone would find interesting? |
