IEC EN 60268-22 Audio System Equipment - Electrical and Mechanical Measurements on Transducers

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60268-22 testing. IEC EN 60268-22 applies to converters that convert an electrical input signal into a mechanical or acoustic output signal.

However, if the electrical input terminals and the surface of the radiator are accessible, this standard can also apply to passive and active audio systems such as speakers, headphones, TV sets, multimedia devices, personal portable audio devices, automotive audio systems.

This standard describes only electrical and mechanical measurements that help evaluate the transmission behavior of the device under test (DUT). This includes running the DUT in both small and large signal domains. The influence of the acoustic boundary conditions of the target application (eg inside the car) can also be taken into account in the physical evaluation of the audio system.

Maximum sound pressure output is limited by voice coil heating and transducer nonlinearity. The large-signal behavior of loudspeakers can be explained by nonlinear and thermal models using aggregate parameters. These physical properties are important for transducer design and system integration.

The mechanical vibration of the diaphragm determines the emitted sound. The modal vibration of the radiator surface can be estimated by numerical simulations (FEA) and directly measured by laser vibrometry. These data represent important transducer properties that can be used to design the desired routing to the acoustic output of the system.

DSP plays an important role in active systems. Digital preprocessing of the audio stream requires reliable transducer specification knowledge to protect the transducer against thermal and mechanical overload and to actively compensate for the linear and nonlinear distortion produced in the output signal.
