CRYSOUND's PCBA testing solution integrates RF and audio performance validation within a 1-to-8 parallel architecture, enabling synchronized electrical, RF, audio, and power testing. This unified platform enhances PCBA test efficiency and adaptability for TWS, smart speakers, and wearables, driving cost-effective, high-volume production with streamlined integration. Industry Pain Points: Challenges of Traditional PCBA Testing in Multi-Category [...]
Negative-pressure airtightness is critical for high-speed train car bodies, and even minor leaks can lead to rework or delivery risks. This article presents a case from Changchun where CRYSOUND's CRY8124 Acoustic Imaging Camera was used to quickly, intuitively, and verifiably pinpoint leaks on a carbon-fiber train car body shell, showcasing the CRY8124's application in vacuum [...]
In acoustic testing, sensor calibration, electroacoustics, and NVH, gain, input range, and quantization directly determine the quality of the data you capture. This article explains these three factors from an engineering perspective. Using typical CRYSOUND setups-measurement microphones, preamps, acoustic imaging systems, and DAQ system such as SonoDAQ Pro with OpenTest-it shows how to configure them [...]
With the rapid growth of consumer audio products such as headphones, loudspeakers and wearables, users' expectations for "good sound" have moved far beyond simply being able to hear clearly. Now they want sound that is comfortable, clean, and free from any extra rustling, clicking or scratching noises. However, in most factories, anomalous sound testing still [...]
Spatial audio performance can vary significantly across devices-even when similar audio algorithms are used. This article explains the role of the IMU in spatial audio, outlines key IMU testing challenges, and introduces CRYSOUND's production-ready IMU testing solution based on a three-axis, three-degree-of-freedom (3-DoF) rotary table. You'll learn the working principles, test flow, and application scenarios [...]
In this article, we use a wind turbine blade factory as an example to show how CRY8124 Acoustic Imaging Camera can help complete a vacuum (negative-pressure) integrity test for a single blade in about 10 minutes. What Is a Wind Turbine Blade? Wind turbine blades are the key rotor components that convert wind energy into [...]
In acoustic design and noise control, a material's acoustic impedance characteristics are a key factor in determining "how it sounds." By measuring parameters such as the absorption coefficient, reflection coefficient, specific acoustic impedance, and acoustic admittance, we can not only quantify a material's ability to absorb and reflect sound, but also evaluate its performance in [...]
In day-to-day acoustic measurements, it's common to hear: "Insert the measurement microphone into the calibrator, press the button, and the microphone is calibrated." From an engineering and metrology perspective, that wording is an oversimplification. To place a sound calibrator correctly in the measurement chain, we should start with what it generates-and what it can (and [...]
In industrial testing, research, and quality validation, data acquisition devices (DAQs / audio interfaces / measurement microphone front-ends) are the "front door" of the entire system. As technology and applications become more specialized, a wide variety of DAQ devices has emerged: Hardware is not the bottleneck anymore. The real challenge is: How do you connect, [...]
In audio and NVH testing, keeping signals aligned in time is often harder than increasing channel count or resolution. With a single chassis, synchronizing several dozen or even a hundred channels is no longer a big challenge. What really hurts is when multiple acquisition chassis are distributed across different locations and connected over a network, yet [...]
From the outside, a measurement microphone looks deceptively simple. But in real-world engineering, its interface options are surprisingly diverse: Lemo, BNC, Microdot, 10-32 UNF, M5, SMB... Many newcomers to acoustics ask questions like: This article provides a structured overview of common measurement microphone interfaces, looking at physical connectors, powering methods, cable characteristics, and typical application-driven [...]
How does your phone instantly and accurately connect to your earphones instead of someone else's in a room full of Bluetooth devices? Why does your smart fitness band sync data exclusively to your phone app after a workout? This dedicated "one-to-one" connection relies on the Bluetooth 5.0 unicast mechanism. Its intelligence goes far beyond simple [...]
