Impedance Measurement Sequence – Dual Channel Method Using Transfer Function
An alternative to the traditional SoundCheck single channel impedance measurement method
This sequence demonstrates an alternative to the traditional SoundCheck single channel impedance measurement method. A white noise stimulus (10 Hz – 10 kHz) is played through the speaker while the signal across the amplifier terminals is recorded by Direct In 1 and the signal across the impedance box is recorded by Direct In 2. A transfer function analysis step is then applied to the recorded time waveforms to calculate the impedance curve. Subsequent post processing steps apply a frequency window, 1/24th octave smoothing and 1/24th octave resolution to the impedance curve. The curve is then post-processed to calculate resonance frequency, maximum impedance and Q of the resonance peak. A set of arbitrary limits steps are also provided to generate pass/fail results. The final display shows the post processed impedance curves and results window.
