Loudspeaker characteristics can have an appreciable influence on the sound absorption properties obtained with CEN/TS 1793-5 [1]. Although sound sources with omnidirectional radiation properties are favored, these often hold the problem of long impulse responses due to their design potentially incorporating ports [2]. In this paper, the inverse filtering approach is applied to two different sound sources. It is shown that it is a valuable measure to reduce the influence of the loudspeaker characteristics on the obtained sound absorption values.Furthermore, an attempt is made to measure the absorption properties according to CEN/TS 1793-5 without the need for the subtraction procedure of a free-field measurement. Thereby, as long as only high frequencies are considered, reasonable values can be obtained.
