SonoCat
Complex noise measurements with an easy device!
- Portable, hand-held device
- All-in-one measurement solution
- Real time sound field monitoring
- Easy comparison of measurement results
- Waveform generator included
The SonoCat offers a complete solution to the acoustic measurement and post processing procedure. This significantly simplifies the way of doing acoustic measurements. The device directly outputs digital audio signals. No data acquisition system is required. A single USB cable between your laptop and the SonoCat suffices to capture all relevant quantities.
Hardware
The SonoCat measures sound with 8 digital MEMS microphones, which are distributed inside an aluminium sphere. The raw data collected from the microphones is processed by a digital signal processor, which is enclosed inside SonoCat. The processed data is sent over the USB line to a computer, which runs the SonoCat software.
Measuring with SonoCat
The operator can do two types of measurements, depending on the quantity of interest. The SonoCat can either be used as a stationary measurement system by connecting the SonoCat to the included tripod stand. Or, SonoCat is used as a handheld measurement device.
Software
The SonoCat software is a software package which provides an all-in-one solution to measure with SonoCat, as well as to do the post-processing of the measurement results.
Calibration
4Silence has developed its own in-house calibration instrument and procedure to allow calibration of all microphones inside the sphere. SonoCat devices are delivered calibrated.
