New Sound Insulation Equipment Purchased
The Acoustics Group have purchased the latest Norsonics sound insulation kit from Campbell Associates to compliment our Norsonics 121 Analyser. The kit includes a new lightweight tapping machine, Nor 277, a Class D amplifier and signal generator - Nor 280, and a new lightweight hemi-dodec sound source . Obviously, we are trying to save weight!
