Electroacoustic Measurement
Introduction: Small Devices, Big Challenges in Acoustic Testing
As smart appliances, small fans, pumps, and electric modules become more widespread, low-noise performance has become a key quality indicator.
But testing compact devices acoustically poses a dilemma:
- Output levels are low
- Structures are complex
- Inspection needs to be fast and automated
Precision and speed rarely go hand in hand—unless the environment and instruments are built for it.
Solution: EAAC × HBK for High-Speed, Noise-Free Testing
At Moritani, we deliver optimized setups using:
Test Environment
EAAC (Electroacoustic Anechoic Chamber)
Compact, quiet, reflection-free environment for clean measurements
Sensors & Analysis
HBK Microphones × PULSE System
FFT analysis, NG thresholds by frequency band, automated judgment logic
Automation Options
- Automatic chamber doors
- Robotic DUT loading
- Complete cycle: signal generation → measurement → pass/fail output
Workflow Example: Inline Testing for Portable Pumps
- 1. Device is automatically loaded into EAAC from conveyor
- 2. HBK microphone captures operational sound
- 3. FFT data is compared against a stored reference spectrum
- 4. PULSE outputs OK/NG result to PLC → sorting mechanism handles it
The entire cycle takes only 3–5 seconds, enabling real-time judgment with no offline processing.
Why EAAC Is Ideal for Compact DUTs
- Even in 1–2 m² space, true free-field conditions are achieved
- Easy to install and relocate—perfect for flexible line expansion
- Designed for acoustic compatibility with HBK sensors
For small devices, even minor reflections or ambient noise can distort results. EAAC offers the environmental stability needed for precision.
Customization Options Available
- Custom chamber dimensions for your DUT size
- Acoustic layout optimized for your target frequency range
- Integrated automation and pass/fail interfaces
- Full integration support with HBK microphones and analyzers
