When the loudspeaker diaphragm is moving under the larger amplitude, the higher order of harmonic distortion occurs. This distortion highly depends upon the nonlinearity of the suspension system`s stiffness and driving force varying with diaphragm displacement. The authors have recently developed a simple but precise measuring method of this nonlinearity using an acoustic coupler.
