Sound system equipment - Electroacoustic transducers - Measurement of large signal parameters (IEC 62458:2010)

This International Standard applies to transducers such as loudspeaker drive units, loudspeaker systems, headphones, micro-speakers, shakers and other actuators using either an electro-dynamical or electro-magnetic motor coupled with a mechanical suspension. The large signal behaviour of the transducer is modelled by a lumped parameter model considering dominant nonlinearities such as force factor, stiffness and inductance as shown in Figure 1. The standard defines the basic terms and parameters of the model, the methods of measurements and the way the results should be reported.

L'IEC 62458:2010 s'applique aux transducteurs tels que les unités motrices de haut-parleurs, les systèmes de haut-parleurs, les casques, les micro-haut-parleurs, les vibrateurs et autres actionneurs qui utilisent un moteur électrodynamique ou électromagnétique couplé à une suspension mécanique. Le comportement des signaux forts du transducteur est modélisé par un modèle de paramètres localisés qui tient compte des non-linéarités dominantes telles que le facteur de force, la rigidité et l'inductance, comme cela est représenté à la Figure 1. Cette norme définit les termes et paramètres de base du modèle, ainsi que les méthodes de mesurage et la manière dont il convient de consigner les résultats.
L'IEC 62458:2010 annule et remplace l'IEC/PAS 62458 parue en 2006. Elle constitue une révision technique. Les principales modifications sont les suivantes:
- la description des méthodes de mesurage a été adaptée à l'état de la technologie;
- les Articles 4 à 15 ont été ajoutés;
- l'Annexe A a été intégrée au corps de la norme;
- le texte a été revu dans son intégralité.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62458 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 100: Audio,
video and multimedia systems and equipment.
This first edition cancels and replaces IEC/PAS 62458 published in 2006. It constitutes a
technical revision. The main changes are listed below:

INTRODUCTION
Electro-mechanical-acoustical transducers such as loudspeaker drive units, loudspeaker
systems, headphones, micro-speakers, shakers, and other actuators behave in a nonlinear
manner at higher amplitudes. This limits the acoustical output and generates nonlinear signal
distortion. Linear models fail in describing the large signal behaviour of such transducers and
extended models have been developed which consider dominant nonlinearities in the motor
and suspension. The free parameters of the large signal model have to be measured on the
particular transducer by using static or dynamic methods. The large signal parameters show
the physical cause of the signal distortion directly and are very important for the objective
assessment of sound quality and failure diagnostics in development and manufacturing.
Furthermore, the model and parameters identified for a particular transducer are the basis for
predicting the maximum output and signal distortion for any input signal. The close
relationship between causes and symptoms simplifies the interpretation of the harmonic and
intermodulation distortion measured according to IEC 60268-5. Large signal parameters are
valuable input data for the synthesis of loudspeaker systems and the development of
electrical control systems dedicated to loudspeakers.

1 Scope
This International Standard applies to transducers such as loudspeaker drive units,
loudspeaker systems, headphones, micro-speakers, shakers and other actuators using either
an electro-dynamical or electro-magnetic motor coupled with a mechanical suspension. The
large signal behaviour of the transducer is modelled by a lumped parameter model
considering dominant nonlinearities such as force factor, stiffness and inductance as shown in
Figure 1. The standard defines the basic terms and parameters of the model, the methods of
measurements and the way the results should be reported.

4 Test signals
4.1 General
The measurement of the large signal parameters requires an electrical, mechanical or
acoustical stimulus. Depending on the method used for the measurement of the large signal
parameters different kind of test signals are used as stimulus for the excitation of the
transducer. Since the loudspeaker behaves as a time-varying system the stimulus may cause
a permanent or temporary change of the loudspeaker properties. Thus, the properties of the
stimulus (spectral bandwidth, crest factor, proability density function) shall be statet. The
same stimulus should be used if the numerical values of the results should be compared from
two measurements.
4.2 Large d.c. signal
A constant d.c. voltage or d.c current of defined magnitude and sufficient duration is supplied
to the electrical terminals to measure the steady-state response of the transducer. If the
transducer is mounted in a sealed enclosure a difference between the static air pressures
inside and outside the enclosure may be used as d.c. stimulus.
4.3 Large d.c. signal and small a.c. signal
A constant d.c. signal of defined magnitude and sufficient duration (see 4.2) superimposed
with a small a.c. signal is used as stimulus. The a.c. signal (such as noise, sinusoidal sweep,
impulsive test signals) should have sufficient bandwidth to identify all parameters of the
loudspeaker model.
4.4 Broadband noise signal
One of the noise signals defined in IEC 60268-1 or any other noise having sufficient
bandwidth and amplitude may be used as stimulus. The crest factor of the noise should be
less than 4 to reduce clipping in the amplifier.
4.5 Music
Ordinary music, speech of sufficient bandwidth and amplitude may be used as a stimulus.
NOTE The dynamic methods need a stimulus which provides persistent excitation of the loudspeaker to identify
the parameters correctly. The stimulus should have enough spectral components at least one octave below
resonance frequency f and one decade above f .

5 Mounting condition
5.1 Drive units
The driver unit may be mounted
a) in free air without a baffle or enclosure,
b) in a standard baffle according to 11.1 of IEC 60268-5,
c) in half-space free field according to 5.2 of IEC 60268-5,
d) in the standard measuring enclosure (type A or type B) according to 11.2 of
IEC 60268-5, or another, specified enclosure,
e) in vacuum,
f) other configuration defined in the presentation of the results.
The acoustic loading depends upon the mounting arrangement, which shall be clearly
described in the presentation of the results.
During the measurement the transducer should be firmly clamped to suppress additional
mechanical resonances close to the resonance frequency f . A vertical position of the
s
transducer (cone displacement in horizontal direction) is recommended to avoid any bias due
the weight of the moving assembly.
Drive units for horn loaded loudspeakers, headphones, micro-speakers and microphones
should preferably be measured in a vacuum to reduce the acoustic load, suppress additional
acoustic resonances, and to avoid nonlinear damping due to turbulent air flow.
5.2 Loudspeaker systems
Loudspeaker systems are measured under conditions which correspond with the intended use.
6 Climatic conditions
The measurements should be made at an ambient temperature 15°C to 35°C, preferably at
20°C, relative humidity 25 % to 75 %, air pressure 86 kPa to 106 kPa as specified in
IEC 60268-1 to avoid any influence of temperature and humidity that may affect the properties
of the drive unit suspensions.
7 Acoustical environment
The measurement room shall be large enough that the influence of the acoustical environment
on the mechanical vibration of the transducer is negligible.
If the measurement of the large signal parameters is based on sound pressure output it is
recommended to place the measuring microphone in the near field of the transducer. It is
recommended to use a method that measures electrical or mechanical signals only, which is
thus immune to unwanted acoustic noise.
8 Preconditioning
The loudspeaker should be preconditioned according to Clause 12 of IEC 60268-5. A
temporary voice coil offset caused by storing the transducer for some time in the horizontal
position can be removed by operating the transducer for at least 5 min in the vertical position
before performing the regular measurement.

9 Time-varying properties of the loudspeaker
The stimulus provided to the electrical input of the loudspeaker may cause a heating of the
voice coil and may also change the properties of the suspension during measurement. Thus,
the electrical resistance of the coil should be measured during measurement and considered
in the calculation of the loudspeaker parameters (e.g. electrical loss factor Q ).

10 Methods of measurement
10.1 General
The following methods may be used for the measurement of the large signal parameters. The
method used should be stated together with the results.
10.2 Static or quasi-static method
10.2.1 General
This technique determines the non-linear parameters of the transducer by using a d.c. signal
with magnitude u (usually voltage) as stimulus. After reaching steady state relevant state
i
variables (d.c. displacement x , d.c. force F ) are measured and the parameter value (such as
i i
K(x ) = F /x ) is calculated. After changing the magnitude of the d.c. signal the measurement is
i i i
repeated at further working points x with i = 1, …, N to measure the non-linear parameters
i
within the working range –x < x < x with sufficient resolution.
peak i peak
Due to the visco-elastic behaviour of the suspension material, the settling time required to
reach steady state may exceed several seconds and a static method is very time consuming.
In a quasi-static method the state variables are measured before steady state is reached and
the settling time used should be stated.
Creep and other visco-elastic properties of the suspension cause significant discrepancies
between the stiffness K(x) measured statically by using a d.c. signal and the stiffness K (x)
ms
measured dynamically by using an broadband noise signal.
The d.c. signal of the static and quasi-static methods cannot be used for the measurement of
L (x, i). Figure 2 shows a setup for static and quasi-static
the nonlinear voice coil inductance
