Measurement Solutions
The portable NTi XL2 Building Acoustics Kit is ideally suited for use on site. Indeed, With only 7.5 kg and a typical sound power of 120.5 dB, the DS3 Dodecahedron Speaker is built for use on construction sites. In other words, the DS3 delivers an omnidirectional sound with a flat acoustic frequency response. The XL2 Sound Level Meter measures the noise spectrum in the sending and receiving room as well as the reverberation time.
Moreover, using the Sound Insulation Reporter PC Software, you can generate the standard-compliant measurement report on site using.
Kit Components
Spectrum Analyzer
The XL2 Sound Level Meter measures the noise spectrum in the sending and receiving room. The level difference forms the base of the sound insulation calculation. Additionally a background noise spectrum recorded in the receiving room (without the test signal) allows for a noise correction.
RT60 Reverberation Time
The level difference between two rooms needs to be corrected for any influence of the reverberation time in the receiving room. Therefore, the reverberation time is measured by the XL2 in 1/1 octave resolution (or in 1/3 octave resolution with the optional XL2 Extended Acoustics Pack installed). Further more, the RT60 measurement offers automated triggering for repeated tests using an impulse or gated pink noise as signal source.
DS3 Dodecahedron
The omnidirectional DS3 Dodecahedron Speaker is a lightweight yet powerful sound source for measurement applications in room and building acoustics. Indeed, the DS3 is combined with the remote-controlled PA3 Power Amplifier to make up the Dodecahedron Speaker Set for professionals. Most importantly, the optimized frequency response ensures precise measurements in accordance with the ISO 16283 and ISO 3382 standards.
PA3 Power Amplifier
The portable PA3 Power Amplifier contains a DSP-based signal generator with equalizer. To sum up, in conjunction with the DS3 Dodecahedron Speaker, a pink noise is produced with an acoustically flat frequency response. The equalization ensures that the ISO 16283-1 requirement of ≤ 8 dB difference between contiguous 1/3rd octave bands in the emitted sound is met. In addition, a test signal optimized for maximum sound power is available as well as an external audio input socket.
TM3 Tapping Machine
The remote-controlled TM3 Tapping Machine is a precision impact noise source for building acoustic measurements. Therefore, it is typically used for the assessment of general impacts in dwellings that occur on floors or stairs in a building and can be operated autonomously, due to the built-in battery.
The Tapping Machine complies to the standards ISO 16283-2, ISO 717-2, ISO 10140-3/-4/-5, ISO 140-6/-7/-8, DIN 52210-6, ASTM E492 and ASTM E1007.
