A novel measurement technique of the transfer function of weakly not-linear, approximately time-invariant systems is presented, based on an exponentially-swept sine signal, applicable to loudspeakers and other audio components, but also to room acoustics measurements.
Abstract
A novel measurement technique of the transfer function of weakly not-linear, approximately time-invariant systems is presented. The method is implemented with low-cost instrumentation; it is based on an exponentially-swept sine signal. It is applicable to loudspeakers and other audio components, but also to room acoustics measurements. The paper presents theoretical description of the method and experimental verification in comparison with MLS.

Modeling of nonlinear audio systems using swept-sine signals: application to audio effects

TL;DR: The method is based on swept-sine excitation signal and nonlinear convolution and can be used in nonlinear processing for audio applications, to simulate analog nonlinear effects (distortion effects, limiters) in digital domain.

Ground-Plane Constant Beamwidth Transducer (CBT) Loudspeaker Circular-Arc Line Arrays

TL;DR: In this article, a design of the CBT loudspeaker line array that is intended to operate very close to a planar reflecting surface is described. But this design is not suitable for the ground plane.

Sound field reconstruction in rooms: inpainting meets super-resolution

TL;DR: In this article, a U-net-like neural network with partial convolutions trained solely on simulated data is proposed to reconstruct a two-dimensional plane of a rectangular room from measurements of the three-dimensional sound field.

Investigation of auditory distance perception and preferences in concert halls by using virtual acoustics.

TL;DR: Results reveal that the perception of distance is dependent on the hall acoustics and show how the strength factor G and direct-to-reverberant energy ratio covary in relation to perceptual distances in four concert halls with multiple sound sources on stage.

Aspects of MLS Measuring Systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the pathology of maximum length sequence (MLS) systems when there is distortion of various kinds is explored, and the properties of such a system are discussed in detail.

The stereo dipole : A virtual source imaging system using two closely spaced loudspeakers

TL;DR: In this article, a system comprising only two closely spaced loudspeakers can create very convincing virtual images around a single listener, and it is demonstrated that such a system is very robust with respect to head movement, and that the processing does not introduce any excessive artifacts.

Acoustic measurements in opera houses: comparison between different techniques and equipment

TL;DR: The aim of this work is to define a tightly standardized measurement procedure for the collection of a complete objective description of an opera house's acoustics, and some of the results obtained after measurements made in three different halls are presented.

Software Implementation of an MLS Analyzer with Tools for Convolution, Auralization and Inverse Filtering

TL;DR: The paper describes a suite of software tools, which have been developed as extensions to the most diffused shareware program for waveform editing on Win-32 PCs (Cool Edit 96 by David Johnston).
