Handheld Audio Analyzer
PAA3X
-
The PAA3X is a highly accurate handheld audio analyzer that gives sound engineers a rich array of sound analysis tools. The system features both 61-band and 31-band real time spectrum analysis, RT60 reverb time measurement, SPL and line meter, internal signal generator, EQ setting program, microphone calibration and speaker phase checking abilities. All functions and menus can be accessed through a central jog dial, leaving your other hand free to adjust audio settings. The large color LCD screen has an adjustable brightness to help you see in a dark or well-lit environments alike. The PAA3X also features a "screen capture" function allowing users to save images of the screen to an SD card in BMP format for later reference. The detachable precision microphone can be placed remotely via the included 5-meter extension cable, offering flexible on-site operation management. With all this plus a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the PAA3X is a must-have multifunctional tool for all serious audio engineers.

Anechoic Chambers
-
Eckel Noise Control Technologies
Anechoic Chambers are echo-free enclosures with a sound energy absorption level of 99% to 100%, or a reflected sound pressure level of 10% or less. The frequency at which the energy absorption drops below 99%, or the pressure reflection exceeds 10%, is known as the low-frequency cut-off. Sound absorption is obtained by lining the walls, ceilings, and floor with wedges or other sound absorbing elements or SuperSoft panels, depending on performance level required and cut-off desired.

Sound Power Solution
-
The Sound Power Solution is part of the family of solutions proposed by OROS for Acoustic applications. This Solution allows to measure Sound Power based on the measurement of sound pressure levels at microphone positions around a source under test. Thus, the Sound Power Solution is complementary of the Sound Intensity Solution that is based on the measurement of the sound intensity as recommended by ISO 9614. Using the OROS Solution, based on a task dedicated interface that guides the user step by step, Sound Power is measured in an easy and efficient way.?

Sound Quality Evaluation Function for O-Solution
OS-0525
-
The sounds generated from the equipment are mainly measured by evaluation based on general analysis such as sound pressure level, FFT analysis and 1/3 Octave analysis. However, since those analysis don’t take into consideration the human hearing characteristics enough, sounds with even the same analysis result may give different impression.When a human listens to a sound, various sensations such as loudness, sharpness, and roughness occur.
