What is this BS 5942-7 - Specification for high fidelity audio equipment and systems about?
BS 5942-7 discusses high fidelity audio equipment and systems and minimum performance requirements with a focus on the specification for loudspeakers.
BS 5942-7 is the seventh part of the BS 5942 multi-series on high fidelity audio equipment and systems that apply to loudspeakers and loudspeaker systems that are provided with a baffle or enclosure.
BS 5942-7 also applies to systems intended to be assembled by the user (so-called “loud-speaker kits”) provided that the instructions for assembly meet certain requirements. The minimum requirements of BS 5942-7 then apply to the complete device, together with the baffle or enclosure.
Note 1: BS 5942-7 is not applicable to loudspeakers and loudspeaker systems comprising active components.
Note 2: BS 5942-7 is not applicable to unmounted loudspeaker units.
Who is BS 5942-7 - Specification for high fidelity audio equipment and systems for?
BS 5942-7 on high fidelity audio equipment and systems is useful for:
- Loudspeakers manufacturers
- Audio equipment and systems manufacturers
- Product design engineers
- Quality control personnel
- Audio programmers
Why should you use BS 5942-7 - Specification for high fidelity audio equipment and systems?
While currently available techniques for objective measurements do not allow complete assessment of the quality of reproduction from loudspeakers, nevertheless, objective measurements can provide essential information about the performance quality.
BS 5942-7 provides an object that is to give the minimum performance requirements and methods of measurement for loudspeakers and loudspeaker systems having regard to the above constraints.
BS 5942-7 discusses measuring conditions, minimum requirements, basic characteristics on which the specifications depend, minimum requirements for characteristics directly related to the reproducing quality, and other characteristics and requirements. This will help you to understand the loudspeakers and loudspeaker systems that are provided with a baffle or enclosure.
With obedience and compliance to BS 5942-7, you can enhance audio equipment and systems’ effectiveness and efficacy and manufacture a standardized product.
