Bl(x) offset > 25%. Use a transducer with centered voice coil offset for maximizing efficiency. 

 

 

If the voice coil offset is very high compared to the peak displacement (left picture), sensitivity and 
efficiency drop. For best performance it is recommended to use a transducer with a centered voice 
coil (right picture). 
 
 

Xmax  had  to  be  reduced.  It  could  not  be  realized  on  both  positive  and  negative  side  of  the 
identified Bl(x) curve. 

See 1.6. 

Xmax was reduced due to exceeded IDR limit. 

X

target

  could not  be  reached because the impulsive distortion limit (

IDR Limit

)  was hit at excursions 

smaller than X

target

. Either the transducer cannot be used up to the specified peak excursion without 

producing excessive distortion or the IDR Limit was set too conservatively. 

Laser  Position  has  changed  by  more  than  20%  of  maximum  measured  excursion  during  KCS-ID 
measurement. 

See 1.8.1 (

High voice coil position change detected

). 

Amplifier Gain is not sufficient to reach desired Xmax. Xmax has been reduced. 

The gain of the specified target amplifier is not sufficient to drive the speaker to the X

max 

determined 

in the KCS-ID. X

max

 was reduced. 

Error Messages

Speaker parameters could not be identified with sufficient accuracy.  Check if the

set correctly in the KCS-ID. If it was, contact

Bl(x) variation too high. Reduce limits or excitation level. 

If  Bl(x)  decays  to  a  value  smaller  than  0.25*Bl(x=0)  at  either  positive  or  negative  displacements, 
highest  accuracy  of  the  nonlinear  parameters  cannot  be  ensured  under  all  circumstances.  In 
addition,  a  disproportionate  high  peak  voltage  is  required  in  KCS  on-line  mode  for  linearization. 
Reduce limits in the KCS-ID or reduce the voltage manually.  

Kms(x) variation too high. Reduce limits or excitation level. 

If  C

(x)=1/K

ms

(x)  decays  to  a  value  smaller  than  0.25*C

ms

(x=0)  at  either  positive  or  negative 

displacements,  highest  accuracy  of  the  nonlinear  parameters  cannot  be  ensured  under  all 
circumstances. In addition, a disproportionate high peak voltage is required in KCS on-line mode for 
linearization. Reduce limits in the KCS-ID or reduce the voltage manually.
