    Tutorial: Rub & Buzz Measurement
    Tutorial

    Our quality theme continues with a tutorial by Ib Rasmussen on Rub & Buzz measurement using the P630 test system. It will introduce the types of Rub & Buzz and how they are generated, and explain why it causes problems in a production environment. It will cover the test parameters that need to be measured, the different types of measurement signal that can be used, and the difference between THD and Rub & Buzz. It will demonstrate how to set up a Rub & Buzz test using a P630 and discuss typical problems of making these measurements in a production environment.

    Ib Rasmussen is at K&K International in Denmark.

    Ferrolabs

    FerroLabs’ LiquidAudio(TM) ferrofluids are specifically designed for the loudspeaker industry. The unique heat-transfer properties of LiquidAudio ferrofluids contribute to both an increase in power capacity and a lower operating temperature, which improves performance and reduces the risk of speaker failure. FerroLabs has been developing ferrofluid technology for over 30 years. Our core team of scientists and engineers pioneered the technology in Russia. Many hold multiple patents. In addition to our standard product line, we specialize in customization. We pride ourselves on working with our clients to develop application-specific solutions. FerroLabs is your quality partner for loudspeaker manufacturing.

    Audio Amateur will be showcasing three of their publications targeted towards this industry. Voice Coil is the leading, worldwide news source in the loudspeaker industry, with a niche audience of OEM engineers and professionals looking for suppliers of drivers, components, test & measurement equipment and software, materials and services. Multi Media Manufacturer reaches a global audience of decision- making engineers and product developers at audio- visual OEMs/ODMs. They are the makers of a wide array of A/V entertainment technology products – focusing on home entertainment, mobile audio/video, multimedia computing, professional audio, and more. The annual Loudspeaker Industry Sourcebook is the most comprehensive resource for industry OEMs, specifiers, and buyers. It contains 16 sections, 200 separate categories, and over 600 companies from around the globe. From adhesives to domes, crossovers to voice coils, assembly to reconing, and every material, product and service in between – you’ll find it in this unique, invaluable guide.
