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 ...

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: ...

It’s been a while since the last installment in our Know Audio series, in which we investigated distortion as it applies to Hi-Fi audio. Now it’s time to return with part two of our look at distortion ...

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 ...

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 ...
