Measuring Acoustic Transfer Functions - Swapan Gandhi and Juan Sierra (Meyer Sound)

Event Type:
Hearing Seminar 
We often want to characterize an audio system but we might not have access to the underlying input signal, This occurs in common devices that have their own clocks and unknown latency. Our friends at Meyer Sound have this problem and are proposing a solution based on a "virtual referece." Grounded in their experience measuring and tuning room acoustics, they will share with us details of their method and a live demonstration of its use to characterize some popular consumer audio devices.
