Order of the Expansion Depends on the Loudspeaker Properties
The directivity can be modeled by single coefficients and a single scanning would be required if• the expansion point is in the acoustical center• the dipole axis is aligned with the coordinate system

Holographic Measurement
Sound pressure measurement
direct far field measurement (turntable)
near field scanning (robotics)
Simulated Free Field Condition
Windowing restricted to higher frequencies
• direct sound separation at lower frequencies
• Windowing applied at higher frequencies
Model not required (spherical) wave model
Results sound pressure depending on angles and distance r
• sound pressure depending on point r in 3D space
• model parameters C
Angular resolution Limited by number and placing of measurement point
Higher than scanning grid (interpolation based on spherical wave modeling)
Extrapolation within far-field (1/r law is valid) near and far field (outside scanning surface)
Self-test not possible based on total fitting error

POLL:Are the near field properties relevant for your work?
• No• Yes, the listening zone is in the near field (personal,
mobile audio devices, studio monitors) • Yes, the loudspeaker size (professional equipment,
sound bars, sound panels) is too large for my anechoic room
• Yes, other reasons

Summary
• IEC 60268-21 defines conventional directivity measurements and new techniques for assessing the complete 3D sound output
• A holographic measurement models the sound pressure distribution outside of a scanning surface placed in the near-field of the speakers
• A spherical wave model is well suited for loudspeakers giving maximum resolution using a few parameters
• A holographic measurement performs a self-check and gives maximum accuracy for a minimum number of scanning points
• Traditional characteristics (e.g. spin-o-rama) simplify the interpretation
• Mean values, variances can be calculated for sound zones for the particular application
• Reliable complex 3D output data for each transducer can be provided for beam steering and other DSP processing

Open Questions
However, most measurements (e.g. distortion, equalization) can be performed at a single evaluation point!
Can we perform our daily standard measurements at high accuracy outside the anechoic room?
The 4th KLIPPEL live webinar will address:• Simulation of free-field and far-field condition according IEC
60268-21• How to compensate for room influence, different positioning
and distance• Can we use a fixed room compensation functions for different
types of speakers?
