New instrumentation - Voice Care

On the 30th April 2013 Professor Alessio Carullo from the Politecnico di Torino Electronics department demonstrated a new voice stress analyser - Voice Care. He was kind enough to leave the instrumentation with the Acoustics Group so that it could be compared with the KayPentax APM analyser. The ERASMUS students will be undertaking the tests to verify the quality of the measurements.

Eurosis Electronic Voting Clickers

A new purchase for the Acoustic Group! The Eurosis electronic voting system to quickly and accurately collect subjective responses. Multiple acoustic uses! 24 clickers so enough to collect an entire classes feedback!

Auralisation Headphones

CATT Acoustics v9.0c room prediction software came with built in auralisation technology. To create accurate auralisations the singal should be corrected for the headphones frequency response. The Beyerdynamic 990pro headphones automatically match the CATT Acoustic auralisations. We are going to listen to opera singers in their own virtual world!

Campbell-Associates demonstrate latest tech

On the 19th April 2013 John Campbell of Campbell Associates came to visit the Acoustics Group to demonstrate the very latest technology. The new miniature acoustic camera produced an active discussion amongst the MSc students on the potential applications for the device. The particle velocity probe also had it's uses in diagnostic analysis. Many thanks to John.
