Professor Richard Mann will be giving a talk on black-box testing + of audio gear. Come out to see fancy audio gear, learn more about his + Advanced Topics course in Computational Sound, and eat free food! Click + through for his abstract.

+ + +

+ Black box testing usually refers to computer testing, either software + or hardware. +

+ +

+ In this talk I apply similar ideas to testing analog and digital audio + gear. For example, given an audio device, such as a guitar effects pedal, + can we stimulate the system with test signals and determine what processing + is done inside? +

+ +

+ I will present our open source testing software to test the frequency + response, time delay and distortion in audio systems. We will show several + real world testing situations, including microphones, loud speakers, + digital keyboards, digital audio mixing boards, and guitar effects pedals. +

+ +

+ Students are encouraged to bring their own musical instruments and/or + sound processors for testing. +

+ +

+ Finally, I will present information about my current audio course, + CS489/689 -- Advanced Topics in Computer Science -- Computational + Sound. This is a project based course, normally offered in the Winter term. +
