Reader could be tempted to determine absolute quality of the device by means of this<br />

procedure. While he or she may be right, a lot of experience is needed. One important<br />

parameter, for reliable comparison among devices, is the value, in VRMS, at the speaker<br />

terminals at resonance. It is shown from FFT as -10dBV that are 0.316VRMS.<br />

13.3.3 DEALING WITH ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE<br />

The next problem in measuring loudspeaker impedance is noise. Transducers do their<br />

job in both directions and noise will appear as voltage exactly where CLIO’s input is<br />

connected. To evaluate the problem we deliberately produced a disturb generating a<br />

110Hz single tone causing 58 dBSPL at the speaker cone. We took two impedance<br />

curves in this condition one with MLS the second with Sinusoidal. Both were taken at-<br />

10dBu, a value that gained our favor before. Results are in Fig.13.6 for MLS and Fig .13.7<br />

for Sinusoidal.<br />

This is one reason why we prefer sinusoidal analysis to measure impedance.<br />

The last enemy we consider are external vibrations.<br />
