How easily can you detect distortion on your audio system? An online interactive listening test gives you a chance to find out by testing your listening ability to detect nonlinear distortion for ...

In Audioholic’s subwoofer reviews, our measurements are an analysis of a subwoofer's ability to accurately reproduce the source content. This involves testing its behavior with respect to linear ...

Recently I've done a collection of measurements and tests on interconnect cables to see what I could find that would explain the sonic differences that many people, including myself, have grown ...

An audio distortion analyzer is a specialist piece of analogue test equipment that usually costs a lot of money and can be hard to track down on the second hand market. Finding one is a moment of luck ...

This application note presents a total harmonic distortion (THD) test circuit that uses active noise amplification to eliminate the need for expensive and often ineffective external filters. Abstract: ...

A critical measure for all audio components is distortion, typically specified as total harmonic distortion (THD) or total harmonic distortion + noise (THD+N). THD is defined as: ... THD+N is the rms ...

Distortion comes in two basic classes: Linear distortion, which is not an oxymoron; and nonlinear distortion, which includes all other distortions except noise. Noise is quite another matter and is ...

SoundGym, the ear training platform, has just added a new game known as Distorted Reality. This is designed to help the user to detect saturation and distortion on a variety of sources. This is a Pro ...

Distortion is one of the most common effect types, but it comes in a host of shapes and sizes. Let’s examine some of the science behind it… When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
