ST404 Muffler Measurement System | Efficient Automotive NVH Testing Solution

Product Overview

Accurate microphone placement decides data precision in sound power testing and acoustic array measurement, requiring brackets with outstanding flexibility, compatibility and portability.

BSWA RPS500 microphone array frame stands out with flexible installation, compact size and scalable structure. It serves as reliable partner for acoustic array testing and simplifies standardized sound power measurement.

Core Advantages

Designed compact and lightweight, the frame enables fast and accurate microphone positioning conforming to standard array layout. Combined with BSWA MC multi-channel data acquisition system and dedicated testing software, it measures sound pressure level and calculates sound power level precisely.

• Flexible positioning: Adjustable mounting spots fully meet layout specifications of various acoustic array tests.
• Strong expandability: Splicable structure adjusts array scale freely to fit tests with different channels and measuring points.
• Easy portability: Net weight reaches only 1.1kg. Equipped with dedicated packing case, easy to carry and transport.
• High compatibility: Supports up to 276 pieces of 1/4-inch microphones, covering professional tests including 24-channel array measurement.

Practical Functional Design

Standardized Point Layout

Uniform 35mm spacing on both X and Y axes ensures standard array arrangement, facilitating compliant sound power test operation. The precise pitch design aligns with common test standards, eliminating layout errors and simplifying compliance verification.

Lightweight & Easy Assembly

It can be fixed on tripods directly. Splicing assembly cuts preparation time greatly. With an overall dimension of 525mm × 525mm × 6mm and a net weight of just 1.1kg (excluding tripod and package), the stable yet slim structure allows single-person operation, reducing labor costs and setup time in both lab and field environments.

Professional & User-friendly Design

Customized for 1/4-inch microphones with SMB interface for stable signal transmission and low interference. Matching storage cases (W640 × H640 × D360) protects equipment well for field mobile measurement, ensuring durability and long-term reliability.

Main Application Scenarios

1. Standard Sound Power Test

   Matched with acquisition system and analysis software, it measures sound pressure and calculates sound power level, suitable for industrial equipment, acoustic components and household appliances inspection.

2. Multi-channel Acoustic Array Application

   Adaptive for 24-channel microphone array testing. Expandable structure satisfies higher channel demands for sound source localization, sound field analysis and acoustic imaging research.
