IEC 62760:2016 PDF

Overview

IEC 62760:2016 is an international standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) that specifies the audio reproduction method for normalized loudness levels in consumer equipment and systems. This standard addresses the inconsistencies in audio loudness across different audio sources and modes, such as mono, stereo, and multichannel setups, ensuring a uniform and optimal listening experience for end users. By standardizing loudness normalization methods, aims to make it easier for consumers to switch between audio sources without having to adjust volume levels constantly.
