This spherical 48 channel microphone array is primarily designed for applications in enclosed spaces. The lightweight array-body is designed as slim as possible and is made of carbon fiber. This ensures easy handling and accurate microphone and array positioning even under real test drive conditions on the road. This array connects to the mcdRec data recorder.

This spherical 120 channel microphone array is primarily designed for applications in enclosed spaces. The omnidirectional characteristics of the array make it perfect for 3D applications, for example in room acoustics. In combination with our cutting-edge Software NoiseImage we offer unique 3D functionality.

This portable handheld paddle features 104 double-layered microphone channels that allow for real-time acoustic near field measurements. The double-layer structure enables the measurement of acoustic pressure signals while particle velocity/acoustic intensity on the measurement plane is calculated and mapped simultaneously.

The mcdRec is a multitalent. Our DAQ with 48-168 differential microphone channels and the posssiblity to connect hundreds of different sensors is an up-to-date, state-of-the-art piece of technology. It records and relates data to the acoustic results.

This brand-new data recorder was developed by gfai tech in Berlin. It is fully integrated in our innovative Mikado handheld for efficient on-board data acquisition.

The measurement cards for mcdRec are all developed in-house and particularly suited to complete the needs of beamforming measurements. All analogue and digital measurement cards offer you high-precision signal recordings. Our team will be happy to give you advice about which card suits your needs the most. Customized adjustments and developments can also be carried out for you.

In addition to testing services in various application areas, either onsite or in our laboratories, we can support you with our PolyXperts throughout the entire project. Let us even do your measurements for you, or let us help you with your acoustic analysis.

We are offering to all users - from beginners to specialists - to refresh their knowledge and exchange ideas with our PolyXperts during trainings, seminars and user conferences.

Depending on their size, Ring Arrays provide 32, 48 or 72 microphone channels. This type of array is suitable for various 2D beamforming applications.

For 3D measurements, the microphone array receives signals from all directions. The beamforming results are mapped on scanned 3D point clouds or 3D CAD models of the measured object. Especially developed for interior measurements, the Sphere Arrays with 48 or 120 microphone channels are suitable for different scenarios.

As hand-held devices, Paddle Arrays are the ultimate low frequency measurement tool. As a double-layer channel system, it was developed for near field measurements and low frequencies using the intensity method. These portable Paddle Arrays allow for real-time acoustical measurements. The measurement of acoustic pressure signals can be conducted while particle velocity/acoustic intensity on the measurement plane is calculated and mapped simultaneously.

The Fibonacci Array represents a new array family allowing near field and far field measurements with the same hardware, using the holography or beamforming method.

The handheld Mikado is a 100% autonomous system for easy and efficient trouble-shooting of sound and vibration problems.

Data acquisition involves sampling signals that measure real-world data and converting this data into digital numeric values. As easy as this may sound, it is a lot harder to create a fully integrated, high-performing, and maximum flexible platform. We are proud to present our solutions from cutting-edge engineering.

The complete software is based on a plug-in concept: Extending the basic module, every plug-in brings its own graphical interface and tools. The users can decide which functions are necessary and make NoiseImage to their very own software system.

We offer variety of programs; including testing services, system rentals, user trainings, hardware maintenance and repair. These services are intended to support and simplify our customer’s tasks, improving their access to quality data and resulting in cost effective timely solutions to their needs.
