Abstract<br />

<strong>Loudspeaker</strong> defects caused by manufacturing, aging, overload or climate<br />

impact generate special kind of irregular distortion commonly known as<br />

rub & buzz which are highly audible <strong>and</strong> intolerable for the human ear.<br />

Contrary to regular loudspeaker distortions defined in the design process<br />

the irregular distortions are hardly predictable <strong>and</strong> are generated by an<br />

independent process triggered by the input signal. Traditional distortion<br />

measurements such as THD fail in the reliable detection of those defects.<br />

The Tutorial discusses the most important defect classes, new<br />

measurement techniques, audibility <strong>and</strong> the impact on perceived sound<br />

quality.<br />
