24、organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activit
25、ies, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject de
26、alt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determine
27、d by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees
28、. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they
29、 are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication an
30、d the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not respo
31、nsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical com
32、mittees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publicat
33、ions. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of pat
34、ent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 62777 has been prepared by subcommittee subcommittee technical area 11: Quality for audio, video and multimedia systems, of IEC technical committee technical committee 100: Audio,
35、video and multimedia systems and equipment. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 100/2603/FDIS 100/2637/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publica
36、tion has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. BS EN 62777:2016 4 IEC 62777:2016 IEC 2016 The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data r
37、elated to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date. BS EN 62777:2016IEC 62777:2016 IEC 2016 5 INTRODUCTION Directional loudspeaker array sys
38、tems provide focused sound for a person to listen alone without disturbing others. This system is convenient for consumers who want to listen to sound without earphones or headphones. This system would be widely used in consumer electronics, for example, smart phone or pad, TV, computer, navigator,
39、and game machine. The applicable area for the system could be fitness club, exhibition room, museum, shopping mall, and etc. A simple and easy concept is needed to evaluate the performance of the directional loudspeaker array system for a consumer. It will provide consumers with personalized audio s
40、pace criteria in order to compare the audio sound field quality between various electronic products that have a directional loudspeaker array system. It is important to specify the quality evaluation method for the personal audio space and the concept of personal audio space. This standard provides
41、guidelines for general test methods to evaluate the quality of directional loudspeaker array systems. BS EN 62777:2016 6 IEC 62777:2016 IEC 2016 QUALITY EVALUATION METHOD FOR THE SOUND FIELD OF DIRECTIONAL LOUDSPEAKER ARRAY SYSTEMS 1 Scope This International Standard applies to directional loudspeak
42、er array systems of any kind, and to the parts of which they are composed or which are used as auxiliaries in such systems. This standard deals with the determination of the performance of directional loudspeaker array systems, the comparison of these system types, and the determination of their pro
43、per practical application, by listing the characteristics which are useful for their specification. It specifies uniform measurement methods for these characteristics. This standard is restricted to a description of the audio space around a person and the relevant method of measurement. It does not
44、consider characteristics of loudspeakers, which are specified in IEC 60268-5. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
