Conclusions
§ESS is now employed in top-grade measurement systems, including Audio Precision (TM), Rhode-Schwartz and Bruel & Kjaer’s DIRAC software
§However, these completely-packaged measurement systems often do not allow to play “tricks” and to adjust the signals for solving problems, which have been shown here
§Workarounds have been found for almost all the problems occurring when performing ESS measurements
§These workarounds are easily applied by working with a general purpose sound editor (Adobe Audition)
§A number of additional plugins have been developed, making easy
to generate the test signal, to deconvolve and process impulse responses, to compute inverse filters and to perform advanced processing (STI, AQT, etc.)
§These plugins are freely downlodable at the AURORA web site:

§The only remaining problems are related to existing transducers (microphones and loudspeakers), as their directivity is far from the theoretical one
