Designing total-harmonic-distortion (THD) measurement into a system usually involves a notch filter and a broadband ac measurement. The problem with this technique is that it measures both THD and ...

The author is technical publications manager and a senior technical writer at Audio Precision in Beaverton, Ore. When reduced to its basics, the process of audio test and measurement is concerned with ...

Total harmonic distortion (THD), is a popular measure of nonlinearity of a device. Learn about the considerable flexibility in defining THD while providing a relatively simple way to orchestrate all ...

A couple weeks ago I built a simple 1KHz 6Vpp Sine Wave Generator from a handful of opamps and passives I had laying around. You can check out that project here. I thought it would be fun to quantify ...

As we’ve traced our no-nonsense path through the world of Hi-Fi audio, we’ve started with the listener, understood the limitations of the human ear, and thence proceeded to the loudspeaker. We’ve ...
