The challenge in creating an IR is avoiding harmonic distortion and noise. Voxengo Deconvolver generates high-quality logarithmic sine sweeps with customizable length and start/end frequencies. Unlike simple sine sweeps, Voxengo’s algorithm embeds a mathematical reference that effectively separates linear response from harmonic distortion products during deconvolution.
