TN002 - Measuring Speech Intelligibility Using Dirac
Starting from basic principles, this technical note introduces the parameters used in speech intelligibility measurements such as STI and RASTI. It also describes the hardware needed for successful measurements, calibration requirements and hints on how to handle common measurement situations.

TN003 - Using the Digital Input of the Digigram VXpocket
The Digigram VXpocket is a high quality PCMCIA sound device, which gives excellent results when used with Dirac. Due to incompatibilities between the VXpocket driver software and Dirac, it is not possible to calibrate the digital input of the VXpocket. This technical note describes a procedure that will allow you to use the digital input as if it were calibrated.

TN004 - G From Imported Room Responses
How to use Dirac to calculate the sound strength G from impulse responses that were not measured using Dirac.
-
TN005 - Practical Tips And Hints For Dirac
This technical note intends to clarify where you should pay special attention before and during a measurement session, what problems may occur and how you can avoid or solve these.

TN006 - Insulation Measurements Using Dirac
Methods are described to measure the airborne sound insulation, e.g. between two rooms. Dirac is used to measure the relative sound levels as well as the reverberation time.
-
TN007 - Impulse To Noise Ratio INR
Describes the INR parameter, which represents the decay range of an impulse response. The INR can be used to qualify acoustical impulse response measurements.
-
TN008 - Dirac Stimuli
The Dirac product CD contains a number of sound files that can be used as external stimuli in asynchronous (open-loop) measurements. This technical note describes these files and their use.
