Overview

Historical overview describes the development of the standing wave tube and its two-microphone procedure, highlighting advancements in acoustic measurements.

Key Points

  • The standing wave tube has been used for over 120 years to measure absorption coefficients and impedances.
  • Initial methods relied on non-electronic techniques using flames or discs, before transitioning to electronic systems.
  • The two-microphone procedure was introduced in 1977 and has become the standard for efficient acoustic measurement.
  • Recent advancements include multi-microphone techniques that extend the frequency limits of plane wave measurements.
