Thank you, @Nuyes.Hi there, I thought it might be helpful to add a bit of context regarding my measurement setup.
I don’t have access to an anechoic chamber or a system like Klippel NFS, so my low-frequency measurements are inevitably affected by room modes and various reflections.
To address this, I provide two types of supplementary THD plots in my reviews:
CHD – This is calculated as the percentage of THD based on the average SPL between 200 Hz and 10 kHz.
EHID – This method normalizes the transfer function of the speaker, microphone, and room to calculate THD%. It can produce quite accurate results as long as the speaker doesn’t begin rolling off within the measured band. If there is roll-off, however, the data can be inflated. That’s why I provide different frequency ranges depending on the speaker’s response.
This approach is based on one of the measurement methods outlined in IEC 60268.
So it seems staticV3 was right and my assumption wrong. Is it the case that the input voltage to the speaker is maintained constant across each distortion sweep?
Thanks for the technical info on CHD and EHID. I spent some time yesterday guessing their meanings but it's better to be told than to guess.
