Building Acoustics System

Norsonic NOR1516 Wireless Building Acoustic System

This system allows simultaneous measurements to be made in the source and receiver room, with two NOR118s linked wirelessly to a base station and laptop. NORBUILD software on the laptop enables on-the-spot calculation of test results so our engineers can tell immediately if the test element has passed or failed

 
     

Sound Sources

Norsonic NOR270H

This high-power omni-directional loudspeaker fulfils the directional characteristic requirements of the ISO 140-3 standard. Driven with pink noise by a NOR280 power amplifier, it delivers a continuous sound power level of 123dB across the 50 - 6300Hz range. Used for measuring airborne sound insulation

Norsonic NOR211A Standard Tapping Machine

Designed to emulate the sound of footfall on structural elements, the tapping machine is used for measuring impact sound insulation

 
     

Amplification & Signal Processing

Norsonic NOR280 Power Amplifier

Designed specifically for building acoustics (the 4th generation from Norsonic) this high-power amplifier delivers 500w rms and is the recommended partner for the NOR270H

Behringer Ultragraph FBQ3102 Graphic Equaliser

This 31-band graphic equaliser allows adjustment by 1/3 octave of the noise spectrum in the source room in order to comply with Approved Document E Annex B2.4

   
 
     

Measurement Microphone

Norsonic NOR1225 Measurement Microphone

Accurate to ±1dB over the range 12.5 - 10k Hz, this ½" free-field microphone is rated as Class 1 under IEC61672

Norsonic NOR1206 Microphone Preamplifier

A general purpose low noise 1/2" preamplifier with a broad frequency response and high dynamic range

   
 
     

Calibration

Casella Cel-110/1 Acoustic Calibrator

A Class 1 dual-level (94dB and 114dB) calibrator engineered to be accurate over a wide range of temperature, humidity and pressure conditions
