Wolfgang Klippel: Sound Quality of Audio Systems
March 17 – March 19
Three-Day Lecture by Wolfgang Klippel
Sound Quality of Audio Systems – Modeling, Measurement & Control
The popular 3-Day Lecture – Sound Quality of Audio Systems will be back in March 2025. The three-day event combines both theory and practice and will take place March 17-19, 2025, at the Technical University of Dresden, Germany. Registration for the lecture is now open for a fee for general admission and is free for students.
The 2025 lecture on “Sound Quality of Audio Systems” is presented by Dr. Wolfgang Klippel, professor at the Institute of Acoustics and Speech Communication. It will give you a deep understanding of measurement and diagnostic techniques used in telecommunication, automotive, multi-media, and professional applications to design small, light and cost-effective loudspeakers. The content reflects over 30 years of fundamental research by Klippel, allowing participants to improve their designs and optimize manufacturing processes.
The presented content is highly recommended for students of electro-acoustic, and anyone in the audio industry active in research & development, manufacturing, or quality control. “Linear, nonlinear and time-variant systems with lumped and distributed parameters model the generation of signal distortion. The course makes the relationship between symptoms and physical causes of the distortion more transparent,” Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Klippel explains.
The lecture is divided into four topics
- Electro-Acoustical Modeling,
- Measurement and Analysis,
- Interpretation and Diagnostics, and
- Digital Loudspeaker Control.
KLIPPEL’s experienced development engineers present practical sections to deepen participants’ understanding of electroacoustic measurements on KLIPPEL devices and illustrate theory with industry examples.
Furthermore, the popular house party at KLIPPEL headquarters will be also back on March 17, 2024, at 6 pm. KLIPPEL is organizing an in-house exhibition with technical demonstrations and room for discussion open to all attendees. “The KLIPPEL House Party is a great opportunity for further networking and knowledge exchange for the conference attendees,” KLIPPEL General Manager Benjamin Barth explains.
Key topics that will be presented in 2025 are:
- IEC standard 60268-23 for testing large loudspeakers (panel, arrays, TV, monitors, …)
- Rating max SPL according to IEC standard 60268-21
- Testing transducers with small baffles on the KLIPPEL Multi Scanning Workbench
- Measuring the nonlinear residuum in reproduced music signals
