Cost-efficient Acoustic Analysis System

08 June 2011 - GOEPEL electronic introduces SoundChecker, a new, cost-efficient complete system for acoustic and impact sound analyses. The system concept provides an ideal compromise to highly complex acoustic test systems, being a simple introduction and entree to sound analysis.

SoundChecker is a complete kit consisting of a measurement data collecting unit, structure-borne sound sensors or open air microphones and an installation software which can be run on each PC with USB interface. GOEPEL electronic additionally offers completely set-up PC systems with preconfigured impact sound measurement equipment.

The USB data acquisition module provides excellent transmission behaviour for sound signal detection from 5 Hz to 22 kHz, because a dynamic range of up to 11 db at a sample rate of 51.2 kSa/s is covered. Due to the high 24 Bit resolution the module is a perfectly suitable tool to check for acoustic and mechanic vibrations. The integrated power supply (IEPE/ICP conformal) allows the direct connection of structure-borne sound sensors.

The operating software contains complex analysis processes for simple parameterisation of specific impact and airborne sound evaluations. SoundChecker can be synchronised and controlled via a common communication interface. Users may also install the software in parallel to their own applications to execute impact sound analyses.
