Calibration Service - Acoustics

Traceable quality for acoustic measuring equipment

When it comes to calibrating your acoustic measuring instruments, trust a competent partner accredited by DAkkS. We calibrate your measuring microphones, sound level meters, sound level calibrators, pistonphones as well as a wide variety of other acoustic devices quickly and reliably.

To ensure reliable measurements, your measuring equipment must be traceable or calibrated at regular intervals. This allows you to ensure that you perform reproducible measurements and improve their quality.

    31.5 Hz…16 kHz (64 dB…124 dB)
  • Sound pressure calibration (two-point with pistonphone and calibrator)
    250 Hz (124 dB) and 1 kHz (94 dB or 114 dB)

Sound intensity probes

  • Calibration of the relative free-field frequency response of each microphone: 125 Hz…20 kHz
  • Including pressure chamber calibration at two operating points: 250 Hz (124 dB) and 1 kHz (94 dB or 114 dB)
  • Calibration of the phase frequency response in the pressure chamber to determine the residual intensity of the probe
  • Conformity testing of the frequency response and residual intensity against limit values from the DIN EN 61043:1994 standard

Thanks to the two-microphone technique, sound intensity probes enable not only the measurement of sound pressure but also the detection of the sound pressure gradient and thus the calculation of sound intensity.
