Noise is increasingly the subject of new regulations for the protection of human health and safety as well as for improving the environment in general. As well as sound levels, the perceived sound quality of products from washing machines to vehicles is often an important part of the customer buying decision so must be considered during product development. m+p Analyzer for noise and vibration measurement and analysis provides a full range of capability for these applications. Real-time fractional octave filters satisfy all acoustic applications from simple sound pressure, sound power for equipment legislative requirements, intensity mapping to isolate sources to sound quality metrics for product refinement.

Fully compliant with ANSI S1.4 and IEC 61672 type 1 sound meter specifications including A/B/C weighting and 1/1 to 1/24 octave spacing from 1 Hz to 100 kHz even with high channel counts. Response types include fast, slow, impulse, custom, linear average and LEQ.
Real-time sound intensity measurements use a standard dual microphone intensity probe calculating real-time pressure, intensity and pressure residual intensity index. This technique is directionally sensitive making it ideal for source localization or background noise cancellation. It enables accurate measurements directly in the field without the need for expensive acoustic laboratories. A wire frame 3D model of your equipment under test is used to guide an operator around a sequence of sound intensity measurements.
