Acoustic Excitation
Generating a high level of noise is reletively easy, but producing a quantifiable, calibrated and accurate source for measurement applications presents a challenge. The source must accurately approximate of a point source or omni-directional monopole. Furthermore, its source strength which is either expressed in applied volume acceleration or inserted sound power, must be known accurately at any time.
Most of the Qsources sound sources provide a real time volume acceleration signal. Volume acceleration or its derivatives volume velocity and volume displacement remain the most stable quantification of airborne emission. Exact volume acceleration is needed for reciprocity, vibro-acoustic modal analysis, and sound power analysis in complex sound fields. And for specific applications it is more efficient to use sound power, which can also be derived from volume acceleration. For those specific applications Qsources provides sound power reference sources.
