English 7
The acoustic properties of vehicle compartment tend to cause oscillation due to
resonance or unclearness of sound due to standing waves at certain frequencies.
The band reject filter can solve the problems of resonance or unclear sound
with minimum influence on the sound quality because it eliminates only the
frequencies causing resonance or standing waves.
Adjustment method:
The band reject filter cuts only the limited frequencies to minimize influence
on the sound quality. Therefore, its effect cannot be obtained unless the
cutoff frequencies are set accurately to the frequencies causing resonance
and standing waves. The band reject filter can be adjusted according to what
you feel through your ears, but we recommend the use of a signal generator
or a spectrum analyzer with a fine frequency measurement capability for the
adjustment.
• Adjustment using a signal generator:
Output a sine wave, vary its frequency to find the frequencies at which
the vehicle compartment resonates or volume increases (standing waves
occur), and set the B.R.F. FREQUENCY control to the position with which the
resonance and standing waves disappear.
• Adjustment using a spectrum analyzer:
Output white noise (sound in which all frequencies are at a certain level),
find the peak frequency observed on the spectrum analyzer, and set the
B.R.F. FREQUENCY control to the position with which the peak observed on
the spectrum analyzer disappears.
