Ntek OMNI 2 XS omnidirectional soundsource
omnidirectional soundsource according to DIN ISO 140.
This loudspeaker is used for measurements in room and building acoustics.
OMNI 2″ XS is an omnidirectional sound source composed of an array of twelve 2″ loudspeakers, which allows the source to be isotropic at every frequency octave band.
The speakers have been carefully selected after numerous tests and accurate simulations using CAE software to meet stringent performance requirements.
Highly portable and efficient, the OMNI 2″ XS sound power is 117 dBA when fed with the AMG mini amplifier and noise generator signal.
Furthermore, OMNI 2″ XS, thanks to its design specifically studied to be compact and efficient, does not require a tripod for support during measurements.
This feature has been achieved thanks to the now-established 3D printing technology, which once again proves to be winning and reliable.
With its 30 cm in height, OMNI 2″ XS is, therefore, the solution for tests and measurements ranging from the field of the NVH to the naval, from the aerospace to all those confined environments that generally would not allow the housing of a classic dodecahedron and amplifier.
A sound source for room acoustic measurements does not have to weigh 15kg, 2.5kg is sufficient
Acoustic measurements are traditionally carried out using pink noise. This process has been state of the art since the 1950s and often requires enormous sound levels from the sound source. As a result, the speakers are large and heavy.
By using correlation methods (starting from 1980), the sound levels required for acoustic measurement can be significantly reduced.
State of the art is the chirp method. See also DIN EN ISO 18233:2006-08 (Acoustics - Application of new measurement methods in building and room acoustics)
Background information on the chirp method
With our Akulap software you can easily carry out room acoustic measurements using the chirp method
