141128 Preliminary product specification

INFRA-QSOURCES Qref
Omni-directional sound power reference source
Features:
Precision omni-directionallity in all directions, horizontal and vertical
plane.
This source has a frequency range of application between 100 and
8000 Hz (third octave bands) Despite only weighing 1.4 kg and
having a diameter of 105 mm, it produces a
maximum sound power level of Lw 104 dB.

The most interesting aspect of this source is the real time sound

INFRA-QSOURCES
power proportional signal. Contrary to traditional solutions for
sound power reference sources this sound source allows user
selected signals; broadband noise, sine, chirps, etc. This allows
flexible adaptation to the background noise of the environment. A
third-octave band calibration chart with the refrence signal to sound
power ratio is provided with each individual source.

Applications:
Identification of equivalent sound power of machinery on-site.
SEA (statistical energy analysis) type of measurements of
rooms, halls, structures and other acoustically coupled systems.
Suitable for building acoustics measurements, as it easily
satisfies the ISO requirements.
Other general airborne excitation applications.
