Nor278

reference sound source

The reference sound source Nor278 is designed to produce a stable and uniform sound power output with unique long-term stability. The high sound power output makes it ideal for sound power measurements in a noisy environment. The rugged, but yet portable and light weight construction is perfect for field us as well a laboratory use. Every effort is made in the design to ensure a uniform frequency response and optimum directional characteristic well inside the requirements in ISO 6926.

The Nor278 reference source is especially suitable for in-situ sound power level identification of machinery, based on ISO 3747 or other comparative or inverse methods. But the source can also be used for calibration or verification of measurement spaces like reverberant rooms as in ISO 3744, (hemi) anechoic rooms as in ISO 3741, and any other sound measurement.
