In acoustic testing, acoustic metrology, and product noise evaluation, the term measurement microphone typically refers to a condenser measurement microphone. Its signal generation relies on a polarization electric field: sound pressure changes the capacitance, and the front-end circuitry converts this change into an electrical signal. Depending on how the polarization field is provided, measurement microphones generally [...]

This integrated single-station EoL test solution enables automotive HVAC air vent suppliers to perform NVH (noise/anomalous sound), motor electrical testing, and vane presence detection in a single inspection step, helping to improve overall test efficiency and reduce labor dependency. Modern automotive HVAC air vent assemblies increasingly integrate multiple drive motors, multi-row vanes (louvers), and smart [...]

In industrial production and environmental monitoring, excessive noise implies compliance risks or potential complaint disputes. To handle this, you need a professional sound level meter (SLM) that provides "credible, traceable, and analyzable data." Faced with price differences ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars, and a complex array of parameters, how do you [...]

Measurement microphones are used in acoustic metrology, type-approval testing, and engineering measurements. Unlike general audio capture applications, measurement scenarios place far greater emphasis on consistency and traceability: the same microphone should deliver stable output when re-tested over time; variation within a production lot should be sufficiently small; and performance fluctuations between lots should remain controllable. [...]

Before you begin any formal data acquisition work, one critical step is connecting the DAQ front end to the PC. In day‑to‑day engineering, the most common options include USB direct connection, Wi‑Fi wireless, Ethernet, and PXIe. This article introduces these four common connection methods from several angles-how they differ, where each one shines, and their [...]

In acoustic measurements (SPL, frequency response, noise, reverberation, etc.), large errors often come not from instrument accuracy, but from a mismatch between the assumed sound field and the actual one. What a microphone reads as sound pressure is not strictly equivalent across different fields-especially at mid and high frequencies, where the microphone dimensions become comparable [...]

The Acoustic Imaging Leak Detection System is developed by CRYSOUND and has already been deployed in multiple coal chemical, petrochemical and natural gas facilities. It is used for online leak monitoring in high‑risk areas. This article is written by the Acoustic Imaging Leak Detection System project team at CRYSOUND based on real‑world deployment and operation [...]

A complete engineer's guide to DAQ systems: PCIe/PXI cards, USB/Ethernet recorders, modular multi-channel systems. Covers dynamic range, PTP sync, IEPE, and how to select the right DAQ for NVH, vibration & acoustic testing. A data acquisition system (DAQ) is the measurement front end: it converts analog sensor outputs-such as voltage, current, and charge-into digital data. [...]

As the AR glasses market transitions from proof-of-concept to large-scale commercialization, product capabilities in audio and haptic interaction continue to expand, driving increased demands for production-line testing. With key modules such as audio and VPU (Vibration Processing Units), AR glass production-line testing is evolving from simple functional validation to consistency control aimed at enhancing real-world [...]
