Klippel New dB-Lab Version 212 and QC 7 Updates Extend Speaker and Enclosure Characterization Tools

Klippel released a major software update to its Klippel Analyzer System. The new dB-Lab Version 212 and QC 7 updates now add shared sensor management, support for the new Multi-Scanning Workbench hardware and three further modules (LSIM, MTON, RMA). The Klippel Multi-Scanning Workbench supports near-field holographic soundfield scanning measurements in a much smaller form factor, while the new modules add linear signal modeling and simulation and multi-tone measurements, dedicated to speaker and enclosure design.

Comprehensive Transducer Testing in 24 Minutes

This article illustrates how the latest Klippel Multi-Scanning Workbench solution allows measurements across several domains (acoustical, mechanical, electrical, and magnetic) while working from non-anechoic environments. The author uses a practical characterization of balanced mode radiator (BMR) loudspeakers, which require a more complex approach when compared to conventional cone-based woofers or dome-tweeters. This article was originally published in Voice Coil, May 2021.

New Klippel SCN Near Field Add-On (SCN-NF) Now Available

Announced earlier in 2020, Klippel now confirmed availability of its new SCN Near-Field Add On (SCN-NF), a new solution that accurately enables all the most relevant transducer measurements using a single hardware setup in a non-anechoic room. This new powerful addition to the Klippel Scanning Vibrometer is a smart alternative to using an anechoic chamber, and the fastest way to get full directivity holographic measurements, extrapolate SPL to any point in 3D half-space and obtain balloon, contour, polar and sound power plots.
