ANSI-CEA-2034-A
Calculates and exports the following curves from a polar measurement:
Listening Window
is the spatial magintude average in the range ±10º vertical and ±30º horizontal.
Early Reflections
curve is an estimate of all single-bounce, first-reflections, in a typical
listening room.
• Floor Bounce: 20º, 30º, 40º down
• Ceiling Bounce: 40º, 50º, 60º up
• Front Wall Bounce: 0º, ± 10º, ± 20º, ± 30º horizontal
• Side Wall Bounces: ± 40º, ± 50º, ± 60º, ± 70º, ± 80º horizontal
• Rear Wall Bounces: 180º, ± 90º horizontal
Sound power
is the weighted rms average of all measurements, with individual measurements weighted according to the portion of the spherical surface that they represent.
Sound Power Directivity Index (SPDI) is defined as the difference between the listening window
curve and the sound power
curve. An SPDI of 0 dB indicates omnidirectional radiation. The larger the SPDI, the more directional the loudspeaker is in the direction of the reference axis.
Early Reflections Directivity Index (ERDI) is defined as the difference between the listening window
curve and the early reflections
curve.
