I'm starting to feel like a virtual tour guide. Please visualize being a part of a large group, me walking backwards ("We're walking, we're walking") and speaking in an annoyingly monotone, condescending voice:
Here we have a Klippel
Distortion Analyzer, mainly used to measure the linearity of motor structures
and quickly identify TS Parameters. This rig is a custom built motor
clamp for holding the woofer under test while being measured by the
laser. Klippel uses a displacement laser to measure the excursion of a
woofer while also measuring the woofer electrical parameters (current draw,
resistance, etc.). Using some acoustics equations it then calculates the
TS parameters of the woofer as well as graphing the linearity of the motor
structure. Centering of the voicecoil, resistance of the suspension,
etc.
Now if you honestly believe I knew or came up with any of that on my own, please keep your arms and legs inside the tram at all times, and remember that you are parked in Gullible Lot 5.
