Fuente Sonora de Referencia

Reference Sound Source is intended for use as a reference source for determination of the sound power output of equipment by the various comparison methods including the method described in ISO 3741, and by the survey methods described in ISO 3747.

USE SCENARIOS

• Comparison method for determination of sound power of noise sources according to ISO 3741
• Substitution and Juxtaposition methods for determination of sound power of noise sources according to ISO 3747
• Sound absorption measurements
• Sound insulation measurements

Reference Sound Source uses a specially designed centrifugal fan driven by a powerful asynchronous motor. The motor is of the external rotor type, and due to the high moment of inertia of the rotor it has a very constant speed of rotation. The motor is mounted on a cast aluminium base, shaped to minimize reflections. The complete assembly of motor and fan is mounted in a cylindrical safety grid fitted with two carrying handles.

Additional features of the compact and rugged product include long-term stability, an individual calibration chart and a safety grid.
