Brief information

The graph shows the frequency response of the headphones without compensation to the target curve. Additionally, the basic target curve is shown. The frequency response depends on the measurement stands used. Since all artificial stands are simplified or averaged models of people, the results are always approximate.

SIEC - is the initial stand for measuring the in-ear headphones of the RAA project. It corresponds to the ear canal from small to medium size.

The high-frequency range is usually always uneven due to the inevitable resonances inside the stands, which are an internal shape in the form of cylinders. Resonances are similarly present in the real ear canal and their frequencies and levels directly depend on the individual shape of the ear canal and the fit of the headphones.

For in-ear headphones, the basic target curve from Harman in Ear 2019 is given.

The combined frequency response of the BGVP HIFI ArtMagic VG4 Off-On-On with various amplifier sources is shown in an additional summary report.

Brief information

The impulse response is a reaction to a single pulse of the shortest possible duration

The step response is a playback on a step (front square) signal. It is built on the derivative impulse response. According to the transition characteristic, the correct polarity of the inclusion of radiators in the speaker is usually determined.Most of the studied parameters are calculated from the impulse response: frequency response, phase-frequency response, group delay, Watterfalls, step response and square wave.

Since the waveform of the impulse response primarily depends on the frequency response and attenuated resonances and reverberation of the headphones themselves and the camera of the stand, the visual visibility of the parameters directly on the impulse response is extremely low. To obtain most of the characteristics, the fast Fourier transform and other mathematical algorithms with analysis of the total impulse length are used. The total pulse length is about 5 seconds, while visually the pulse is displayed with a duration of 2-4 milliseconds. Vertically, the visual detail does not exceed 40-45 dB. Thus, for a visual view, an alternative view is used from the sum of the half-wave modules of the impulse response shown on a logarithmic scale.

The visual definition of frequency response and resonances by impulse response was relevant only in "pre-computer" times. Today, according to the impulse response, only the same or different polarity of the emitters and the possible high-frequency resonance are looked at, if there is no graph of attenuated resonances. There is an opinion that the impulse response "immediately shows everything", and its absence is a concealment of the truth. Here the impulse response is given to dispel this misconception. Additionally, you can see the dependence of the shape of the impulse response on the stand.

When testing the speakers, the reverberation of the room is determined by the impulse response. The headphones work on a small volume and there is no reverberation from late reflections and this characteristic does not show useful data. The impulse response on a logarithmic scale is given for general educational purposes - to show that the usual type of impulse response is not a short burst of 2-4 ms, but a long-term attenuation for several seconds.

RAA measurements are made in 192 kHz / 24 bit mode.

The impulse response is displayed as is, without compensation of the frequency response for the microphone or smoothing. It is RAW data. The reduction in the frequency response of the microphone starts at 20 kHz. The lower limit is from 2~4 Hz.

Brief information

Thecumulative spectrum of the signal attenuation shows resonances and reverberations after the headphones cease to reproduce the signal.

The change in the cumulative spectrum of the signal attenuation is a cumulative spectrum of the signal attenuation, where the original frequency response is represented by a straight line.

The cumulative spectrum of signal attenuation is constructed by impulse response . The graph does not use three-wave smoothing. Time zones with an interval of 1 ms are painted in a certain color. For convenience of perception, the graph does not have vertical displacement, limited only to horizontal displacement. From the position of 3D - this is a view with a small turn in the horizontal plane. You can accurately assess the level on a vertical scale. To obtain good resolution in the time domain, a small window of 2048 samples is used, which directly affects the low resolution of the low frequency region and the graph in the region below 200-300 Hz does not show useful information.

More detailed

Measurements of BGVP HIFI ArtMagic VG4 Off-On-On were carried out by Roman Kuznetsov on the hardware-software complex RAA.

The BGVP HIFI ArtMagic VG4 Off-On-On test was conducted as a black box test, without regard to cost and prestige. This is the basic principle for making measurements, measurement reports and developing tests in RAA.

I believe that it is important to do not make an absolute assessment of the device, but an aggregate assessment when working together with a source amplifier and taking into account external factors. This allows you to effectively reveal the potential of the entire set of devices or to make a more optimal choice of components.
