• Cables and Wireless Remote Control accessories
• Battery Kit UA-1477 for Type 3207

Omnidirectional Sound Sources

For most building acoustics measurements, the sound source must radiate sound evenly in all directions to
give reproducible and reliable results; therefore, the relevant building acoustics measurements standards
(ISO 140 and ISO 3382) require the use of an omnidirectional sound source.

OmniPower Sound Source Type 4292-L

Fig. 1 OmniPower Omnidirectional Sound Source Type 4292-L (see
OmniPower Sound Fig. 1) uses a cluster of 12 loudspeakers in a dodecahedral
Source Type 4292-L configuration that radiates sound evenly with a spherical
distribution. All 12 speakers are connected in a series-parallel
network to ensure both in-phase operation and an impedance
that matches the power amplifier. The entire assembly weighs no
more than 8 kg and is fitted with a convenient lifting handle that
does not measurably interfere with the sound field.

Powered by Power Amplifier Type 2734-A or 2734-B, the Sound Source can deliver a maximum sound
power of 122 dB re 1 pW (100 – 3150 Hz). The high power output of Type 4292-L makes it ideal for sound
insulation measurements.

Type 4292-L satisfies the requirements of DIN 52210, ISO 140 and ISO 3382 standards (see Fig. 2 through
Fig. 5). Its directional response for the horizontal plane is shown in Fig. 6.

 OmniSource Sound Source Type 4295
Fig. 7 OmniSource Sound Source Type 4295 (see Fig. 7) presents a
OmniSource Sound new solution to omnidirectional sound source design. Type 4295
Source Type 4295 is optimised for the measurement of room acoustic quantities
such as reverberation time, sound distribution and spatial decay.
The patented principle of the OmniSource Sound Source uses a
single high-power loudspeaker, which directs the sound signal
through a conical coupler to a circular orifice, and despite its
compact dimensions and low weight, OmniSource Type 4295 is
still capable of emitting a sound power of 105 dB re 1 pW (see
Fig. 8 and Fig. 9).

The size of the orifice and the shape have been carefully
engineered to radiate sound evenly in all directions. Thus, Type
4295 fulfils the national and international standards for
omnidirectional sound sources (see Fig. 10 and Fig. 11). Type
4295’s directional response for the plane through the axis is
shown in Fig. 12.

Impact Sound Source

Tapping Machine Type 3207

Tapping Machine Type 3207 is an impact sound generator (see Fig. 13). It can be used for impact sound
measurements to national and international standards. The unit is available with an optional battery kit and a
remote control.

Type 3207 uses five hammers each weighing 500 g and operating at 2 Hz dropping from a height of 40 mm,
giving an operating frequency of 10 Hz. This fulfils national and international standards. The hammers are
operated via tappets on a single shaft. The shaft is driven by a DC motor via a toothed belt and gearbox.

Fig. 13 The unit is based around a welded aluminium

Tapping Machine chassis. Both size and weight have been
Type 3207 minimised for easy transportation. Three
extendable legs support the unit during operation
with rubber feet that are height adjustable with
supplied gauges. This gives stable and level
mounting during operation in accordance with the
relevant standards.

The unit is powered via the supplied mains

adaptor or the optional battery kit (see Fig. 14),
and can be remotely switched on and off via cable
AQ-0633 or Wireless Remote Control Option
UA-1476 (see Fig. 14).

system UL-0256 and BNC input sockets and BNC line and speaker output
sockets. A sensitivity selector in 10 dB steps allows the
amplifier to adapt to a variety of source signal levels and
sound source ratings. Hand-held Analyzer Type 2250/2270’s
generator signal can be connected to the amplifier input, to
provide the pink or white noise used in building acoustics.

In addition, Type 2734-B includes a wireless audio system

(Fig. 23) to accommodate cable-free transmission of the
building acoustics test signal, which could be white, pink or
band-limited noise; or swept sine. Wireless operation also
makes source and receiver position changes more
convenient. Type 2734-A can be upgraded to Type 2734-B by
installing optional Wireless Audio System UL-0256.

Type 2734 has a built-in generator providing pink or white noise

in the 50 – 5000 Hz range. It can be controlled from the front
panel, or with the optional Wireless Remote Control UA-1476
(the same control used to control Tapping Machine Type 3207,
Fig. 14). Transmitter UA-1476 has a pushkey for manual
control, and a cable connection for automatic control from
an analyzer.

Hand-held Analyzer Types 2250 and 2270

Fig. 21 Types 2250 and 2270 are robust, hand-held instrument

Hand-held Analyzer platforms designed to host a wide range of sound and
Types 2250 and 2270 vibration measurement applications. Their uses range from
assessing environmental and workplace noise to industrial
quality control and product development.

Easy to use, their robust, light and ergonomic design

make them easy to grip, hold and operate with one hand.
Their high-resolution colour touch screens show the
instrument setup, status and data at a glance, and let you
select what you want to see with the tap of a stylus. The
“traffic light” indicator, positioned centrally on the push
button panel, shows you the current measurement status,
even from a distance.

The hand-held analyzers are built for the tough environment of field measurements. They will work reliably
in rain, dust, heat, frost, day or night, and can be placed on a tripod.

For documentation, you can add spoken or written comments to your measurements, and make sound
recordings during any of the measurements. (Note that sound recording requires Sound Recording Option
BZ-7226.)

 Type 2250 is a single-channel analyzer, while Type 2270 is dual-channel and has additional features such
as a built-in camera allowing you to attach photos to your measurements and a LAN interface.

The high precision hand-held analyzers offer a wide range of optional software application modules,
including prominent applications such as Reverberation Time Software and Building Acoustics Software.

Reverberation Time and Building Acoustics

Reverberation Time
Reverberation time is an important feature of spaces where sound level, the intelligibility of speech, or
perception of music is important. It is the time that it takes for a sound to decay by 60 dB. Usually, the time
taken for the signal to drop 20 or 30 dB is measured and extrapolated to find the time that it would take the
signal to dissipate by 60 dB.

Fig. 22 Reverberation time is measured, using an impulse or an

Reverberation Time interrupted noise, at several positions, which are then
measurement – averaged together.
measured using the
interrupted noise To measure reverberation time, simply press the Start/Pause
method push button on the hand-held analyzer and, if you are using
impulse excitation, burst the balloon.

A yellow ‘smiley’ icon indicates that you may be able to improve

the measurement at one (or more) frequency bands, a red
smiley indicates that the measurement should be retaken. Tap
the relevant smiley icon to read the explanation.

Building Acoustics
Building acoustics is the assessment of airborne, façade or impact sound insulation in buildings. The
assessment is based on measured 1/1-octave or 1/3-octave spectra within the 50 – 5000 Hz range.
Measurements may be serial (one frequency band at a time) or parallel (all bands simultaneously).

Airborne Sound Insulation

Fig. 24 shows a typical airborne task setup using a loudspeaker (emitting pink noise) and a number of
microphone positions to measure the average source room spectrum L1, and the average receiving room
spectrum L2. The average background noise spectrum B2 is measured to verify the true L2 spectrum. The
average reverberation time spectrum T2 is measured, to correct for the amount of absorption in the
receiving room. Finally the single number result (for example DnTw) is calculated from the L1, L2, B2 and

9
 T2 spectra, and the result can then be compared with the minimum requirements stated in the
building regulations.

The sound level depends on the position in the rooms, so several microphone positions are used to measure
the average of the source room level, L1, the average of the receiving room level L2 and the average of the
background noise level B2. The average reverberation time T2 is also measured using several positions.

Examples of measurements and results are shown in Fig. 25.

Façade Sound Insulation

Façade sound insulation is a variant of airborne sound insulation, with its own standards. The “source room”
is the space outside the façade, and the sound source may be road traffic or a loudspeaker representing
outdoor noise. When using traffic noise, the indoor and outdoor sound levels must be measured
simultaneously, requiring dual-channel measurements (Type 2270). The outdoor microphone positions are
flush with the façade, or 2 m in front of it. Calculations are similar to those of airborne sound insulation, but
take the pressure increase at the microphone positions into account.

Impact Sound Insulation

Impact sound is typically caused by footsteps, and to measure impact sound insulation a standardised
impact sound source (tapping machine) is placed in the source room. The receiving room levels are
measured as for airborne sound insulation, with several positions of the tapping machine. Calculations are
like those for airborne sound insulation, except the results represent absolute (not relative) levels.
