The ultimate in technology Production testing of loudspeakers has never been so accurate, simple, fast or easy. Speaker Test is a software package designed exclusively for use with the TEF analyzer for production on line speaker testing with high ambient noise rejection. Developed for use with a PC, Speaker Test software features a choice of engineer or operator mode. The engineer mode is used by quality assurance and engineering personnel who design and supervise the individual measurements and tests that make up overall product testing. The operator mode provides simplified menu designs for routine automated testing which can be initiated with a bar code reader or keypad.
The ultimate in versatility Speaker Test is ideally suited at incoming inspection to verify the performance of individual components, during the manufacturing process or for final inspection. Tests available include frequency response, phase response, impedance versus frequency, single-channel FFT, harmonic distortion, harmonic tracking, THD and THD plus noise. Speaker Test gives you ultimate control over the testing process. Using a variety of simple to complex setups, Speaker Test can test many different operational parameters and determine overall pass/fail statistics.
The test can be as simple as a frequency response curve compared to a pass/fail window or as complex as 30 different tests performed back-to-back or in any selected order. Standards may be made from either a single loudspeaker or a batch with minimum/maximum values or standard deviation. Statistics of individual pass/fail criteria are maintained to help determine trends, and a review mode allows the engineer to re-test a specific batch of speakers off the production line using original measurement data stored on the disk.
The ultimate in Speaker Test Software The TEF analyzer features two line-level and two preamp inputs. Any input can be selected in the software, ensuring maximum flexibility in the tests you want to perform. Test output can be sent to screen or printer or saved to disk for flexible handling of results in rework or reports. Up to two graphs can be printed per page.

- Modes of operation
- Operator mode: This mode is used by an operator performing routine automated testing.
- Options available in Operator mode are limited to those designed into the test by the engineer.
- Engineer mode: This mode is used by quality assurance and engineering personnel who design and supervise the individual measurements and tests that make up overall product testing.
- Pass/Fail limits
- Pass/Fail limits can be created in various ways:
- Setting an envelope in a specified range above and below a referenced loudspeaker
- Statistical analysis of the measurements of a batch of loudspeakers
- Using the cursor to draw any arbitrary limits
- Once a pass/fail limit is created, it can be modified manually by the use of a cursor.
