2.5. Measured Parameters
2.5.1.
Sensitivity
SPL is expressed in dB rel 20µPa, computed according to IEC 268-5
Measurement set up according chapter 2.4 and 2.9.
This test is performed for 100% of products in the production line
2.5.2.
Frequency response
Frequency response is measured according test set up in chapter 2.4 and 2.9 data sheet and
checked against the tolerance window defined in chapter 2.1. This Test is performed for 100% of
products in the production line.
2.5.3.
Total harmonic distortion (THD)
Is measured according IEC 268-5 (2nd to 5th harmonics) and test set up in chapter 2.4 and 2.9
and checked against the tolerance window defined in chapter 2.1. This test is performed for
100% of products in the production line.
2.5.4.
Rub& Buzz
Rub & Buzz will be measured in the Inline-measuring device with a sinusoidal sweep. Rub &
Buzz is defined as the maximum level of no harmonic energy, expressed as signal to nonharmonic content ratio, in a certain frequency-range. Signal and evaluation criteria are according
to chapter 2.2. This test is performed for 100% of products in the production line.

2.8.1.
acceleration
Device is measured mounted on a mass of 100g in the center of gravity. This mass is mounted
on a suspension with a resulting resonance frequency of less than 25Hz. An acceleration sensor
(B&K 4374) is mounted in the center of gravity for measuring the acceleration. The maximum
acceleration in the defined frequency range is detected by sweeping the input voltage from the
minimum to the maximum frequency.
2.8.2.
Vibra Resonance Frequency
The electrical impedance of the device is measured. The first maximum of the impedance (in the
range of 150-162Hz) corresponds with the vibra resonance frequency.

4. Environmental Tests
Qualification Tests
According to our milestone plan (Product Creation Process), a complete qualification test will be
done at design validation on products, manufactured under serial conditions and 1x per year and
product family. The qualification process covers all tests described under 4.5 and a complete
inspection takes place.
Requalification Tests
1x per month and product family samples are taken and submitted to tests described under 0
Sample Size, Sequence
Unless otherwise stated 20 arbitrary new samples will be used to perform each test for both,
qualification and requalification test as described under 0 and 0.
Period of Shelf-Life
The period of shelf-life is 12 months.
