Measurement time is a crucial factor for the total cost and feasibility of end-of-line quality control. This paper discusses new strategies minimizing the test time for transducers and audio systems while ensuring high sensitivity of defect detection, extracting comprehensive diagnostics information and using available resources in the best possible way. Modern production lines are fully automated and benefit highly from high speed testing. Optimal test stimuli and sophisticated processing in combination with multichannel test design are the key factors for smart testing. Appropriate acoustical, mechanical, and electrical sensors are discussed and suggested. Furthermore, parallel or alternating test schemes reduce the overall test time. Finally, typical concerns and pitfalls when testing at high speed are addressed and illustrated by measurement results.
