The roots of this blog post were planted in a post I published very recently regarding the Audio First Fidelia. I began, while drafting that post, to explain some of the techniques and technology used to carry out acoustic measurements of speakers, the Klippel NFS (Nearfield Scanner) in particular, but it soon became obvious that […]
