Acoustic exciters

Testing and calibrating acoustic measurement instruments

Acoustic exciters are essential for precise testing and calibration tasks in acoustic measurement technology. They can be used to calibrate microphones, sound level meters, and measurement chains reliably, or to excite vibrations specifically in test specimens. 

Tests according to DIN EN 61094-8, DIN EN 61672 and IEC 61094-5

Typical applications range from secondary calibration in pressure chambers for ¼'' or ½" microphone capsules, to low-frequency calibration of pressure transducers or free-field testing. Thanks to their flexible application possibilities, from couplers to free-field chambers, a wide variety of test scenarios can be realized.

Details about the SQ-6

What is the purpose of an acoustic exciter?

An acoustic exciter is a technical device designed to generate sound waves in a controlled manner. These waves induce specific vibrations in systems or components. It converts electrical signals into controlled pressure waves, serving as a reference for calibrations and the analysis of dynamic properties. Depending on the application, either compact couplers for microphones or high-performance chambers for larger test specimens are used. The main differences lie in the frequency range, the achievable sound pressure and the type of coupling. These differences result in specific solutions for standard-compliant calibrations and structural dynamic analyses.
