New CLEAR Perceptual Rub & Buzz Algorithm Listens like a Human        

September 1, 2010 -- The new CLEAR (Cepstral Loudness Enhanced Algorithm for Rub & Buzz) algorithm from Listen offers true perceptual Rub & Buzz analysis of loudspeakers, microspeakers and headphones on the production line.

This measurement better identifies whether distortion due to manufacturing defects can be heard by the listener than conventional measurements. Although conventional Rub & Buzz measurements continue to offer excellent identification of defects, many manufacturers are moving towards a model where only speakers with audible defects are rejected in order to increase yields. Perceptual Rub & Buzz offers a means of identifying and precisely quantifying only speakers with audible faults, yet with the benefits and reliability of an automated test system. Click for more...
