Smart speakers are a new class of consumer audio device with unique characteristics that make testing their audio performance difficult. Receive an overview of smart speaker acoustic measurements with a focus on frequency response.
A smart speaker is an Internet-connected (usually wireless) powered speaker with built-in microphones that enables you to interact with an intelligent virtual assistant (IVA) using voice commands. Using voice only, you can direct it to perform tasks such as play music, control home automation devices, or even order products from online. In this application note, we provide an overview of smart speaker acoustic measurements with a focus on frequency response—the most important objective measurement of a device’s audio quality.
Stricter guidelines imposed by version 3 of the IEC standard for harmonic current emissions push designers to embrace power-factor-correction methodologies.
