A powerful tool for on-site sound absorption measurement: SONOCAT multifunctional in-situ acoustic measurement device

Introduction

In modern architecture and acoustic research, on-site sound absorption measurement is a crucial component. Through accurate acoustic measurements, we can better understand the propagation characteristics of sound waves in different environments and how to optimize acoustic design. In this regard, SONOCAT multifunctional in-situ acoustic measurement device undoubtedly provides us with strong support.

Introduction to SONOCAT multifunctional in-situ acoustic measurement device

SonoCat is a set of multifunctional spherical microphone arrays (see the figure below). It consists of a spherical array made up of eight MEMS microphones for measurement. From the measurement results, we can obtain the sound volume (sound pressure level), 3D sound intensity vector, and surface material sound absorption coefficient at the measurement point. SonoCat supports two working modes: single-point measurement and scanning measurement. In single-point mode, we can measure the 3D sound intensity vector at that location to locate sound sources; through scanning mode, we can obtain the average sound absorption coefficient of the measured surface material. SonoCat connects to a computer or tablet via USB cable, and with SonoCat software, we can directly monitor, record, and analyze noise issues on-site.

The importance of on-site sound absorption measurement

On-site sound absorption measurement is vital for architectural acoustic design. By evaluating the acoustic performance of different materials and structures, we can provide scientific basis for sound effects. For example, acoustic design in concert halls, theaters, and similar venues relies on such measurements. To achieve the best acoustic effect, SONOCAT multifunctional in-situ acoustic measurement device it is our reliable assistant.
