Electroacoustics
To deliver quality sound, it is essential to analyze the sound produced and captured during R&D. A multitude of parameters are critical to authentic sound reproduction.

By tracing noise back to very specific components, engineers can target their mitigation efforts more precisely.
By measuring and mapping environmental noise, and general noise pollution, we can limit the impact of noise on health, and improve the quality of life for humans and animals.
Customer awareness of general noise and its related sound power have never been higher. Product noise levels are increasingly more important to buyers of tools, appliances, machinery and other equipment.
Road traffic and aircraft noise are among the most widespread environmental noise problems globally and closely linked to negative health effects. As a result, they are subject to stringent national and international regulations. Discover the noise certification for each category of aircraft and ground vehicles.
Acoustic material testing provides insights into their characteristics, to better understand the contribution it will have on the overall acoustic experience of a room, vehicle, etc.
From design and development to manufacturing, operation and environmental compliance, measuring sound or noise levels has become a standard requirement. Be it audio quality assurance of hearing aids, mitigating sound effects in vehicles, eliminating risks by excessive exposure to noise at work, or fulfilling environmental directives, only reliable measurement and data analysis can help engineers and other responsible bodies to correctly evaluate sound parameters.
HBK has been at the forefront of research in this field for decades. Our in-depth knowledge of numerous applications has established our reputation as market leaders in measuring and analysing sound, and we have long been engaged in developing international standards. Whatever your application, our high-quality acoustic solutions make your testing procedures as easy, reliable, and as efficient as possible.
Acoustic engineering requires powerful tools covering the entire measurement chain. We offer a comprehensive toolbox – from microphones to data acquisition systems and software for analysis, storage and sharing. Post-processing options allow you to create an efficient, and streamlined workflow customized for your needs.
Lars Greve is saxophonist, clarinet player, composer, sound artist and a leading force in creating 360-degree, fully-immersive sound experiences. HBK was invited to take part in this unique listening experience with exciter transducers.
As you walk into an anechoic chamber, you enter a strange new world: spiky, soft walls enclose every surface of the room. And when you look down, the floor is just a see-through mesh.
For most of us, imagining a world without music is impossible. But for those who have some form of hearing loss, and those with a severe or profound hearing loss, the world of music has not always been accessible – until now.
