Sound Quality Assessment Material (SQAM)

Sound Quality Assessment Material (SQAM) refers to standardized audio samples used to evaluate and compare sound quality in various devices like phones, speakers, or microphones. These materials consist of carefully chosen recordings that help testers and engineers measure clarity, noise, distortion, and other sound characteristics objectively. By using SQAM, manufacturers ensure their products deliver consistent, high-quality audio performance, and consumers can trust that their devices meet certain sound standards. Essentially, SQAM acts as a benchmark to assess how well a device reproduces sound in different environments.
