Especially the sound analysis of complex objects often reveals the problem that conventional measurements using a single or just a couple of microphones only deliver insufficient results with respect to the tracking of sound sources. The technique used with Acoustic Camera AC100 provides an excellent solution. Simultaneous measurements using a large number of microphones allow the quick and precise location and separation of sound sources.

​

Typical applications for Acoustic Camera – AC100 are:

​

• Localization and separation of sound sources to reduce noise emitted by vehicles, machinery, household appliances and electric tools

• Source analysis for acoustic design of wind tunnel models, complex vibrating structures, creaking or rattling structures

• Long-term monitoring of machines and plant

• Acoustic vehicle tests (inside and outside

• Quality assurance

• Predictive machine maintenanc

• Acoustic optimization of product
