Practical Automotive Measurements – Novi, July 28

In the morning Steve Temme will share the work of the AES Technical Committee on Automotive Audio (TC-AA) and their development of a white paper to standardize measurements of frequency response, Max. SPL and impulsive distortion. He will then delve deeper into some of the other audio characterization metrics that help develop a more complete picture of in-car audio quality. These include seat-to-seat spectral uniformity, Max SPL versus distortion and alternative methods for impulsive distortion measurements.

After a short break he will then present the equipment used for automotive measurements, introducing two new products from Listen – a low cost 6-microphone array, a new automotive audio interface, and an automotive test kit. A guest speaker will then explain the importance of measurement standardization and how this helps them optimize in-car audio quality.

After a networking lunch, we’ll head down to Harman’s automotive test bays to make the measurements discussed earlier and offer hands-on guidance in making these measurements.

There is no charge for this event, but registration is required and spaces are limited.
