Abstract
Systems and methods for manual characterization of perceived transducer distortion are described. The system includes a signal generator, a controller, a multi-band compressor, and an audio transducer. The signal generator is configured to generate a test signal for a frequency band. The test signal includes at least two simultaneous frequency-modulated tones, which may be combined together in an amplitude-modulated envelope. The at least two simultaneous frequency-modulated tones have different frequencies within the frequency band. The controller is configured to receive user input indicating a gain value. The multi-band compressor is coupled to the signal generator. The multi-band compressor is configured to adjust an amplitude of a component of the test signal based on the gain value. The audio transducer is coupled to the multi-band compressor. The audio transducer is configured to generate an audio signal based on the test signal.
