DIRECT VOLUME VELOCITY AND HIGH OUTPUT LEVEL

This omnidirectional sound source is equipped with a Microflown particle velocity sensor on the tip of its nozzle, being the only source capable of directly measuring the radiated volume velocity for a broad frequency range with unparalleled accuracy.
The source is capable of generating high excitation levels in order to properly excite the sound field under study. An integrated amplifier eliminates the need for external amplifiers and ensures the best performance going hand in hand with a user-friendly experience.

OMNI-DIRECTIONALITY THAT PROVIDES DIRECTION

In the automotive market, a common application where sound sources are applied is transfer path analysis, airborne source quantification and panel contribution analysis. Furthermore, to optimize, troubleshoot and validate sound packages, from BIW, prototype to the final model. Rapidly with the source very locally with high accuracy structures can be excited or fast reciprocal transfer functions measured. Not only full vehicles but also the vibro-acoustic behavior of components like engines, air conditioning units etc. can be measured. The sound source level in combination with the frequency range makes this source a versatile measurement device designed to meet the needs of NVH R&D departments.

Cross-compatibility with all major third party software platforms

The reference sensor incorporated in all Volume Velocity Sources (VVS) is natively supported by all modules of Microflown's software Velo. In addition, with the recent introduction of a programmable signal conditioner (MFPA-VVS), the sources can also be used seamlessly with the following software platforms:

  • Head acoustics ArtemiS SUITE
  • Müller BBM PAK 6.x
  • Siemens Simcenter Testlab

MFPA-VVS

The MFPA-VVS is a 1-channel signal conditioner is specially designed for our Volume Velocity Sources. The MFPA-VVS main usage is to power and amplifies the received particle velocity signal to 1 channel line-level BNC output. However with the MFPA-VVS, there is more, thanks to its build-in correction its provide a flat, corrected output. Enabling compatibility and ease of use with most common use of sound and vibration software.

How does it work?

MFPA-VVS integrates a bank of programmable filters before the pre-amplification stage of the traditional MFPA. The filtering stage (2 high-pass and 2 low-pass filters) compensates for the natural frequency-dependent sensitivity of particle velocity sensors, achieving a broadband correction at the output of the MFPA-VVS for the entire frequency range. The corner frequencies of the filters can be adjusted by the manufacturer every time the sensor (VVS source) is calibrated. Please be aware that the MFPA-VVS has to be exclusively used with one single volume velocity source, and therefore this pre-amplifier is not interchangeable.
