- Cable Noise During Acoustic Measurements
Simplified Performance Testing Using Anechoic Box + Sound Level Meter
The diagram above illustrates the configuration of a sound level meter, extension cable, and microphone.
By passing the cable through the cable port (penetration hole) of the anechoic box and sealing it with a sound-insulating cover, external noise intrusion through the penetration can be prevented. This also allows the sound level meter to be operated from outside the box.
However, if multiple cables are passed through a single cable port simultaneously, cable-induced noise may occur and affect measurement accuracy.
For this reason, we recommend equipping multiple cable ports in anechoic boxes or anechoic chambers, with one cable per port, depending on the specific purpose or signal type.
Cable ports can also be customized in terms of shape, size, and sealing method.
When passing thick or bulky cables, a standard cover may not provide adequate sealing, and alternative soundproofing treatments should be applied.
