Title and Subtitle: Relation of earphone transient response to measurement of onset-duration
Report Date: March 1963
Authors: Tobias JV, Jeffress LA
Abstract: Measurements were made of the transient response of PDR-8 earphones. These data indicate that the original estimate of the onset-duration of auditory stimuli can be revised downward to 0.8 ms. Implicit in the results is a caveat on the faith one should have in the output of commonly used earphones with short- or single-transient inputs.
Key Words: earphone, onset-duration
