Loudspeakers
The effect of loudspeaker directivity on steady-state frequency response is well understood. However, the time domain behavior (spectral change during a transient) seems to be a somewhat less studied subject and therefore less clear what happens during a transient...
A simple and "fairly obvious" in-room speaker power response measurement without measuring off-axis responses with high spatial resolution.
HRTF analysis of different radiation patterns, focusing on the contribution of side reflections to the diffuse-field response.
Audio measurements
Audibility thresholds for SINAD & THD+N measurements from auditory masking curves and hard clipped signal harmonics (pure-tone & two-tone).
A multitone measurement that combines the sensitivity of sine signal measurement with the all-revealing nature of multitone measurements.
Digital audio
Testing the limits of 44.1 kHz sampling rate with high-pass filtered audio samples and pure tones.
Sampling theory made simple. Demonstration of sampling, aliasing, oversampling.
By listening to the residual noise at different bit-depths, we can easily answer the question "how many bits are needed".
Acoustical simulation
Extended version of Speaker Directivity Modeler with room response calculation from radiated sound power and free-field response (direct sound).
Online simulation of a speaker with a flat, completely rigid diaphragm mounted in an infinite baffle.
Headphones
How does output impedance affect the frequency response? Some notes on damping factor.
