Structural response data taken with a scanning vibrometer allow in situ identification and characterization of dynamic material properties in loudspeakers and clarify inconsistent preliminary SPL measurements and auditory tests.
The flat response of laser vibrometers over and beyond the entire audible range provides a huge asset in the design of high-fidelity speakers. Furthermore, there is no mass loading to distort sample data, and the stand-off distance of the laser sensor has no effect on the linearity of results. Scanning vibrometers allow you to get accurate results both at low frequencies with high amplitudes, and at high frequencies with minute amplitudes.
Proven through use by all major manufacturers Polytec Scanning Vibrometers are the gold standard for speaker response measurments.
