Electrostatic transducers in acoustically polluted environments

This paper presents a novel approach to refining the parameters of electro-acoustical transducers aimed at achieving the highest quality, most precise sound reproduction, with a primary focus on headphones. It outlines the motivations, objectives, and outcomes of research dedicated to creating a new type of electrostatic headphone system, usable in highly noise polluted environments for personal noise protection. Achieving accurate design for electro-acoustic transducers it is crucial to control the frequency, phase, and polar responses of the speaker or headphone systems. Most audio devices on the market tend to prioritize frequency response, with varying levels of success. The behavior of the newly developed headphone system is demonstrated through various measurement techniques and listening tests.
