Audio Precision launches TTA Loudspeaker Test Utility
Published: ASIA
KOREA: Audio Precision has announced a new software application that aids in the testing of small loudspeakers in accordance with the Republic of Korea’s Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA) requirements. The software borrows the Application Programming Interface (API) from the manufacturer’s APx audio test software to test micro and slim speakers relative to the TTA TCB-0054(00) standard. The utility is stated to be compatible with all APx500 Series audio analysers except the APx511 and requires software option SPK-RD, an IMP1 impedance fixture, a power amplifier and a measurement microphone.
‘As I worked to develop Korea’s criteria for testing micro-speakers, collaborating with the market leader in audio test was a natural choice,’ said Sin-Lyul Lee, Ph.D, technical adviser, Next-generation Sound Support Center (NSSC). ‘Needless to say, Audio Precision’s dedicated and thorough approach to creating the TTA loudspeaker test utility is greatly appreciated.’
‘From fundamental audio testing to compliance testing for global, regional and national standards, our ultimate goal is to help engineers bring their products to market,’ furthered Dave Schmoldt, Audio Precision CEO. ‘Providing this utility in support of TTA’s micro/slim speaker standard is one more example of the AP team’s focused efforts toward achieving that goal.’
The APx TTA Loudspeaker Test Utility is available now for download by registered users from the manufacturer’s website.
