Abstract:
An acoustic testing system includes at least four control microphones, at least four acoustic transducers, an acoustic enclosure with pre-determined reverberant characteristics which contains the at least four control microphones and the at least four acoustic transducers, a control system configured to produce a predetermined acoustic field as measured by the at least one control microphone. A unit under test is also disposed within the acoustic enclosure. Using an acoustic enclosure with pre-determined reverberant characteristics results of the increased proportion of reflected sounds in the area proximate to the unit under test such that less power is required to achieve a given acoustic test level than in a purely direct field acoustic test.
