Speech Mapping Process

Step 1: Average Adjustment

    • From 500 Hz to 15k Hz: Reduce by 6 dB.
    • At 2k Hz: Reduce by 3 dB.
    • At 4k Hz: Reduce by 6 dB.
  • Re-run test and assess changes.
  • Further adjust from 5k to 15k Hz by reducing 3 dB.

Step 2: Soft Adjustment

  • Test phrase remains the same.
  • Adjustments Needed:
    • From 500 Hz to 1k Hz: Increase by 3 dB for softer sounds.
    • At 2k Hz: Increase by 3 dB (correction from earlier decrease).
  • Fine-tuning:
    • At 5k Hz: Reduce by 2 dB.
    • At 2k Hz: Increase by 2 dB.

Step 3: Loud Adjustment

  • Adjustments Needed:
    • Low frequencies from 2k to 7k Hz: Reduce by 3 dB.
    • Broad range from 250 Hz to 15k Hz: Reduce by 3 dB.
    • Specific range from 250 Hz to 4k Hz: Reduce by 6 dB.

Finalization

  • Assessment: Ensure all adjustments improve speech mapping quality.
  • Run Mo: Final step before concluding.
  • Printing Results: Document the final settings and results for future reference.

Conclusion

  • After completing all adjustments, the speech mapping process is finalized and results are ready for printing.
