The Sonocat
Features
In-situ sound absorption measurements with the Sonocat provide real-time, spatially averaged absorption values. Measure absorption of acoustic materials, including complex-shaped noise barriers and diffracting elements.

The Sonocat can measure the sound intensity level and direction in 3D. This can be used to determine the location of sound sources, for example. It is not always obvious where the sound is coming from or which source has the highest contribution to the noise.
Applying the theory of sound propagation around a rigid sphere enables the SonoCat to account for the most dominant scattering that impacts the measurements. It is therefore possible to estimate the 3D sound intensity vector and sound pressure level as if the SonoCat was not in the field,

The sound power measurement solution provided by Sonocat is incredibly simple to use. You can effortlessly rate and compare various noise sources with precision, while also monitoring multiple additional parameters simultaneously.

SVL is a useful measure of sound because it is directly related to the amount of energy in the sound wave. The higher the SVL, the more energy is in the sound wave, and the louder the sound will be perceived.

An ordinary intensity probe measures active intensity but with the Sonocat we can also measure incident intensity and reflected intensity.
The Sonocat is very capable in measuring Sound Pressure levels with certified compliance with international standards. Each microphone is calibrated to a higher precision than necessary for Class 1 microphones.
