What is BS EN IEC 63034 about?
BS EN IEC 63034 discusses micro speakers. Micro speakers are used in smart devices such as phones, tablets, headphones, and hearing aids. BS EN IEC 63034 specifies the characteristics of micro speakers as well as the relevant test methods for micro speakers using steady-state sinusoidal signals, sinusoidal chirp, multi-tone, or noise. The main characteristics include, but are not limited to, impedance, displacement, amplitude-frequency response, distortion, and power handling.
Who is BS EN IEC 63034 for?
BS EN IEC 63034 on micro speakers is useful for:
- Smartphone manufacturers
- Bluetooth speaker manufacturers
- Headphone and earphone manufacturers
- Hearing device manufacturers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN IEC 63034?
One of the differentiating factors for manufacturers of smart devices is sound quality. Testing sound quality for micro speakers would depend on how and where you intend to position the micro speaker in your smart device. BS EN IEC 63034 specifies how sound system equipment can be set up for measurement. Normal measuring conditions are defined in BS EN IEC 63034. To obtain the actual conditions for measurement, some values (known as "rated conditions") can be taken from the manufacturer’s specification. These rated conditions are not subjected to measurement, but they constitute the basis for performing the measurements to determine the other characteristics.
BS EN IEC 63034 discusses conditions of measurement, acoustical environment, mounting of the micro speaker, positioning of micro speaker, measuring microphone, measuring equipment, the accuracy of the measurement, marking of terminals and controls, and testing signals. The tests help you to ascertain where the micro speaker needs to be positioned in your device for maximum benefit
