IEC EN 61305-5 Home High Quality Audio Equipment and Systems - Methods for Measuring and Determining Performance - Part 5: Loudspeakers

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 61305-5 testing. IEC EN 61305-5 specifies methods for measuring and determining the performance of loudspeakers. Applied to sound system speakers for household high-fidelity audio equipment. Properties not specified more explicitly in this standard shall comply with IEC EN 60268-5.

Many different methods can be used to measure and determine the performance of speakers. Measurements are usually made to measure audio trends, frequency response, changes in distortion, efficiency and power consumption. Below are some of the methods used to measure and determine the performance of loudspeakers:

• Frequency Response Measurement: This measurement measures the change in sound level that speakers make in the range of audio frequencies. The measurement shows how loud and low frequencies the speakers sound;
• Measuring Changes in Distortion: This measure measures the changes in distortion that occurs when speakers make sounds. Changes in distortion indicate distortions that occur when speakers sound;
• Efficiency Measurement: This measurement measures how loud the speakers make when one watt of power is applied. This measurement shows how efficient the speakers are;
• Measurement of Power Consumption: This measurement measures how much power the speakers consume when one watt of power is supplied. This measurement shows how much power the speakers consume.

Apart from these methods, there may be other methods used to measure and determine the performance of loudspeakers. For example, one method used to measure the sound tendencies of speakers is the directivity factor measurement. This measurement measures the change in sound level in the directions where the speakers sound.
